Yes gentlemen it’s that time of year again, Valentine’s Day. And as much as we tell our friends it’s not a big deal, and that we don’t make dinner reservations and just go with the flow, we all know this is not the right thing to do. But what exactly should you do this year on that special day? Well if you either live in Vancouver, or are looking to spend a romantic weekend in this beautiful city, there are plenty of options to share with your loved one.
Of course if you want to start off on the right track you’re going to need flowers and chocolate, and with a number of florists and chocolate shops all over the city this should be easy. But what about preparing your own chocolate delight? Well that’s easy too, all you need is some good cocoa, a bit of sugar, salt, milk and whatever else you desire to mix with this magical indulgence. And when you’re looking for flowers, it always adds a nice touch when you are able to build your own bouquet, just don’t get caught picking flowers from your neighbour’s garden!
Once you have given your significant other their lovely bouquet of flowers and chocolate treat, make sure to book your private horse drawn carriage ride around Stanley Park where you can take in the wonders of the Totem Poles, Third Beach, Lost Lagoon and all the other romantic attractions in one of North America’s best parks. And if a horse drawn carriage ride isn’t your cup of tea, then how about a stroll around the 8 kilometer Stanley Park Seawall along the ocean front, where you can take in one of the Pacific Ocean’s stunning sunsets.
And when it comes to the most important part of the day, dinner, the city of Vancouver offers a wide variety of exceptional dining options. Whether you are craving Italian, Indian, Northwest, Seafood or just Dessert, you will find what you are looking for. Just make sure to book your reservation early, the same goes for booking your Vancouver Bed & Breakfast stay to provide the perfect ending to your magical Valentine’s Day date.
