Valentines Day

Had a great day this February 14th. Started out by taking a ride up to Barnes & Noble in Bricktown. They don't have much of a sitting area but we made due on a bench near the magazines. I looked through an older book about low-light photography, Carolyn read up on some t-shirt sewing techniques. I bought a couple of magazines on the way out, one being my first issue of PVW (Performance Volkswagen) @ $10.50 an issue (ouch!). I haven't read through it yet, but the 3 Corrados featured make me feel like it was somewhat worth the money.

Below is a picture taken after we left the bookstore. This is the hockey rink from the 1997 Kevin Smith movie "Chasing Amy". I played a few seasons of ice hockey here when I was younger, so seeing it brought back some memories..

Then we got back on the road and headed to Seaside Heights. Now, normally I stay far away from "Sleaside" (LBI till I die), but since it's winter and we just got dumped on by Snowpocalipse 2010, I figured I'd give it a chance. The lighting was awesome and we both got some great pictures which is what we set out to do. Here's one of Carolyn in front of the store where some of the cast of MTV's "Jersey Shore" worked at (at least we think it is)..

Here's some creepy clowns..

And here's my favorite from the day..

Then we headed straight to Daddy O's on Long Beach Island. We put back a few Kettle & Tonics and ordered a bunch of stuff from their bar menu (great as always). After a memorable day and delicious dinner, we headed back home and called it a night. (I may have squeezed in a little bit of work at the end)

All and all, our Valentines Day extravaganza was a day to remember. We vowed to have more days like this with no occasion involved. We also decided that we will be road tripping to Texas and Arizona at the end of March. Can't wait!

Lots to see and lots to do.. and I couldn't ask for a better partner in crime :)
