If you have the chance to leave the kids and worries behind, here are our top things to do for Valentine’s Day out on the town! 11. Go Dancing – If the last time you went dancing was in a moshpit, it’s time to go out for a little cheek-to-cheek action. 12. Take In The View – Find a look out in your town and look at the lights of the city, or just use that nice secluded place for a little car makeout. 😉 13. Hotel Getaway – Book a night at a hotel. There’s something about knowing you aren’t home surrounded by chores and bills that makes relaxing into an intimate evening that much easier. Not to mention, slumber parties with your spouse are just the best. 14. Couple’s Photoshoot – When was the last time you had photos taken of just the two of you? If you said your wedding, it’s time to book a sweet shoot with your favorite photographer. 15. Romantic Dinner – This is the classic, right? And once you try a fancy, romantic dinner (with reservations!) on Valentine’s Day, you’ll understand why.

Try something new or special for your V-Day date. Many of these ideas could be done during the day before the rush for dinner reservations starts! 21. Roller or Ice Skating – Try something a little active for your Valentine’s date. We love the idea of skating because it’s so fun to hold hands and chat as you go round and round the rink. 22. Chocolate Tasting or Making – Go on a chocolate-tasting tour, or find a chocolatier that has classes on making chocolates. This is a major win-win because you get chocolate, and you get the aphrodisiac bonus! 23. Spa Date – Check Groupon for local businesses running spa deals, and then enjoy relaxation at the hands of someone else! 24. Paint or Pottery Night – Go to a paint night, where you are walked through how to paint a canvas, step-by-step. Or visit a ceramics studio where you paint your own pottery. 25. Buy Flowers – How often do the husbands of the relationship get flowers? Make a deal to buy each other flowers this year; feel free to add some chocolates, too. 😉 We hope you have the BEST Valentine’s Day with some of these ideas.
