Things to Do This Valentine’s Day
Things to Do This Valentine’s Day
Whether the Groundhog saw his shadow or not on February 2nd, odds are it will still be cold outside this Valentine’s Day. Good news is, there are plenty of ways to keep warm and have some good hearted fun on the 14th. Here are just a few ways to share the love!
Food:
Nothing says, “I Love You,” like Italian food. Check out these recipes, courtesy of McCaffrey’s Dolce Vita, for a romantic dine-in.
Stay toasty with some Homemade Hot Cocoa. Its easy to make and a jar of this stuff tied up with a red bow makes a great gift!
Aryn’s Amazing Chocolate Cake isn’t just for birthdays. Grab some heart sprinkles and have a little extra fun decorating!
Crafts:
Make a paper heart garland.
Write an old-fashioned love letter (the cheesier the better)!
Decorate with paper stars!
Travel:
Looking to take a Day Trip (or, better yet, make it a “Wheekend”)? Inspire(d) has been all over the Driftless Region in the past few years. Check out the great places we’ve been, or create your own adventure. Visit your local winery, see a play, eat out, or attend a V-Day event. There are lots of fun things going on throughout the Driftless this weekend! Happy fun, and happy heart day!
