Valentine's Day

Romantic holidays are always kind of hard for me. Sort of. I mean, who plans the evening? Is it always the guys responsibility? That hardly seems fair. Should you trade off planning each year? Do you hope for a surprise? Or help the other person remember? I mean, I don't need a major celebration, especially on Valentine's Day (I mean, I only started celebrating it, um, when I met Justin haha), but I do think it's a nice excuse to get out and do something nice and/or fun together.

Well, Justin did a great job this year. A few weeks before Valentine's Day I asked him what he wanted to do so we could start planning together, but he responded, "You don't need to worry about it" with a smile. What a guy, already had the planning going ♥

Paul came over to hang out with Nolan. Thanks PTM!! He's always so sweet about watching Nolan for us so we can go out.

First we went to dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Justin was feeling bad because he wanted to go somewhere nicer, but couldn't get a reservation anywhere else at the time we needed. He said OSF was his '10th choice', but I loved it! Can't go wrong with the mizithra cheese!

After a nice dinner we hung out at Sam Weller's bookstore until we needed to leave for our activity.

I had absolutely NO idea what Justin had planned. Then when we went downtown and he started driving through a small, dark (and kinda scary) alley I thought, "where in the heck is he taking me?!"

The suspense continued when we walked up to a small, but several story building and the first sign I saw indicated it was a Church of Scientology building haha. I thought maybe he'd converted!

But no, he signed us up to experience 'The Escape Key.' We had seen it several months ago while searching for deals on KSL and thought it sounded fun.

We signed up for 'The Impossible' room which was brand new as of that day and was supposed to be the hardest. Our group got pretty far, but didn't make it out. You basically have to use clues that you find to figure out how to 'get out of the room.' It was a blast! We got to tear the room apart looking for clues and keys to open locked doors and chests, etc. One time we even had to find a certain key that opened a small box that contained a magnet and string. We then had to figure out how to use those items and anything else we had previously found to get a clue at the bottom of a vertical pvc pipe. We ended up creating a fishing rod of sorts and found a key at the bottom. So fun!

We were with 3 other couples and it was great, but we thought it might be even more fun if we knew the other people in the group. 

Anyway, I had a great Valentine's Day. Well done my love!
