However, when you've been with your partner for a long time, are married with kids, shared lots together, than celebrating Valentine becomes for the sentimental and not the commercial value of it!! You no longer seek to buy cheesy gifts..or opt for the super expensive flowers and chocolates (yes, I do LIKE these gifts, don't mind having them either..) but YOU learn you can get much more for the same value and so it comes down to making smart choices!!
So.... You do the 2nd best thing you can...pick something FUN and interesting for ALL the FAMILY!! Our choice was a getaway....
Destination....Chtaura!!
