Matt planned a nice little date night for us this year to celebrate Valentine's Day. We went out the weekend before Valentine's Day, so that we could sleep in the following day and avoid the crowds. James got to spend the night at Grandma Backman's.
First stop: McCormick and Schmick's seafood restaurant on Lake Union. It was a stormy day and we enjoyed watching the wind and rain from our window table inside.
Next stop was Pike Place Market.
I love to go and explore and look at the flowers and trinkets.
So much excitment happening, all the time!
Beautiful, vibrant tulips remind me that spring is just around the corner.
I can't wait!
After the market, the plan was to go see a movie, but to be honest, we are such home bodies! We wanted to go home and watch a Netflix by the fire, in our sweats.
Lame I know, but perfect for us!
But first, my weakness- Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory!
Matt knows this is my favorite.
Perfect for Valentine's Day- a candy holiday!
Matt told me later that he'd considered getting us a place to stay downtown for the night, but that he knows me better.
This was my idea of the perfect night! Total relaxation!
Monday was the official Valentine's Day holiday.
I made chicken parmesan and we had a family night.
James got balloons, his favorite.
Matt got me roses- but not a dozen in a vase.
I'm not a huge fan of flowers on Valentine's Day, seems so cliche.
Perfect :)
I love my Valentines (yes, plural!). Story time to end the day.
XOXO
