Day 270: Candlelight and Chocolate

We're kicking off a week of romance and dating ideas for this week leading up to Valentine's Day weekend. Technically the holiday lands on a Monday this year, not the weekend. Unfortunate, but I guess we can't expect it to be a weekend every year, right? That being said, this week we're featuring cool date ideas and things to do on Valentine's Day. And we thought we'd get it started a day early.

While this event isn't on Valentine's Day, we thought it would be a worthy addition for date ideas for this week. There's nothing more romantic than snuggling by a crackling fire and sampling chocolate.

This weekend, Friday February 11th and Saturday the 12th, from 6 to 10pm each night, don't miss Candlelight and Chocolate. Take your honey on a romantic candlelight stroll through the winter woods near Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington.

You'll both enjoy a dessert sampler plate and a hot cup of tea or coffee, live acoustic music by Treveld, and a cozy fire while learning all about chocolate--where it comes from and sustainable harvesting practices.

Reservations are required. Hurry and make the February 9th deadline. Get your reservation online or by calling (763) 559-6700. Cost is $17 per person.
