So… it appears that I can’t complain about my European boyfriend and his innate hatred for all over-commercialized American holidays.  He has sold his soul to the devil, he has become one of us.

In the morning, I went to the gym to get it out of the way for the day.  When I got home, this was waiting for me:

It was accompanied by a (very sweet) card.  I was already floored – since I wasn’t expecting anything for Valentines Day, this was already above and beyond.  But then I opened the card and inside….  A clue!

That clue, of course, led me to a hiding place where there was another clue.  Which led me to another place with another clue.  There were about 20 of these, hidden all around our house, outside, and garage.  It was so much fun!

The final clue led me to a website (which S created with my own URL.)  And this website showed me my real surprise.

In March, we are going here for the weekend!  To Calistoga Resort and Spa in Napa!!!!!  I am so, so excited.  We will have a lodge (which they say is in the tree tops) with an outdoor living area with fireplace and a private outdoor shower garden!

Needless to say, pictures (and all else) went a little bit by the wayside today as I danced around my house.  I can’t believe it is a whole month away… this is going to be the longest month ever!

Happy Valentines day to all!  I leave you with another snow picture made for us by S’s family in Switzerland.
