The usual plan for Valentine’s Day always remains the same: drinks and a formal dinner followed by a romantic comedy at the movie theater. Some couples may try to break the mold and get a bit more creative with their plans to find a more original way to spend the day. Others are looking for the best opportunity to avoid crowds or ways to spend the holiday at home. Stumped on plans? Consider these ideas! The Classic Plans
If going the classic route, the first step is to make dinner reservations. Most couples make their reservations as far out as six weeks ahead of time, so if you’re trying to avoid a last-minute spot in the early afternoon, it’s best to make yours today. Consider having dinner at Marion Street Bistro in Lake City or The Great Outdoors in High Springs, or head to Prohibition in Downtown Lake City for appetizers and drinks. As for the movie, the romantic films set to release for Valentine’s Day this year are I Want You Back, What About Love, Marry Me and Through My Window. Scope out their trailers to buy your tickets ahead of time, especially if you’d like to attend a prime time showing after dinner.
The Out-of-the-Box Plans
Looking for a one-of-a-kind experience? Try something new! Push your luck and experience an escape room in Lake City or try your hand at throwing axes at Class Axe in Jacksonville. Doing something new or daring can make the holiday memorable in a whole new way, especially doing so with a loved one. Have you ever been skydiving or zip lining? Valentine’s Day is your time to shine. A great option is The Canyons Zip Line and Adventure Park in Ocala that offers nine zip lines, two rope bridges and horseback riding. A daring, outof-the-box activity is a sure way to offer a new perspective to Valentine’s Day this year. 66 |
