Valentine’s Day comes around only once a year.  It’s not too much to ask that you and your sweetheart spend a little together time, away from family (including the children), friends, jobs, you name it.  Three years ago, my husband and I stopped with the gift giving and instead decided to spend time together doing something we both thought would be fun.  Here are my top three ideas for this year:

1) I’m starting with this one because this is where I will be spending time with my special guy.  The Whispering Vines Vineyards and Winery will kick off the evening of February 13th, 2010 (Saturday) with a wine tasting followed by a murder mystery.  My guy and I have always been suckers for a good mystery!  The show costs around $65 per person (which includes dinner, tax, and tip).    Call right away to see if reservations are still available.  Their number is (918) 447-0808.

2) The Tulsa Zoo is hosting a “Wild at Heart” Valentine’s Day event.   It will be held from 7-11pm on Saturday, February 13th, 2010.  The evening starts out with cocktails and a fantastic dinner provided by Taste of the Wild Catering.  There is also a chance for you to break in some new dancing shoes to the music of Earl Clark and the Spectrum.  After that, a twilight train ride will wisk you away. Call 918-669-6634 for your reservation (hurry, tickets go quickly).

3) The BOK Center will be hosting a Skate Date on Sunday, February 14th from 10am-10pm.   A disco ball will be floating over the 17,000 square foot frozen floor.  They’ll be music and special lighting to give the center that romantic touch.

It doesn’t matter what you decide to do, as long as you do it together!
