We all know that one of the drawbacks of Valentine’s Day (besides the after-effects of consuming too much candy) is that it occurs in a particularly dreary time of the year for
most of the U.S. Even the groundhogs want to pull that blanket over their eyes when the ground is frozen. That’s precisely why the spirit of Valentine’s Day should be set free from the dictates of the calendar.
Forget convention and consider the benefits of moving the holiday five or six months ahead to late summer. Schedule your Valentine’s Day celebration for when you know the weather will be fabulous! It’s a whole new way to enjoy sweets with your sweetheart! Imagine sharing the delights of chocolate wine in Walla Walla on a mid-summer evening.
Plan a visit to Cameo Heights Mansion, a bed and breakfast set in the scenic hills of postcard-perfect Washington state. It’s a great way to create that perfect getaway in summer — a time of the year when you can enjoy all the special attractions this resort community offers. Since Washington enjoys a northern latitude, summer in this region is not plagued by those sticky, humid weather conditions that can turn a getaway into what seems more akin to an Indian sweat lodge.
Imagine those dry, cool summer evenings with sunsets so gorgeous they could easily grace the cover of National Geographic. Now imagine your beautiful mate sharing that special romantic holiday you just apportioned for the two of you. Let convention fly. Enjoy Valentine’s Day any time of the year!
