So I'm back...only about a month later...my bad!!
Well as you all know this past weekend was Vday! Some call it cheese day or even D-day(as in Doom's), lol...Its funny to see the sudden frenzy just days before when everyone is scrambling for last minute gifts and reservations. I guess for some its the one holiday where you have the opportunity to revisit the "spark" in your love lives...or make up for the forgotten anniversaries or birthday!
Fortunately, for the hubs and I that is not the case. Our Valentine's Day is always special. We make light of whichever way it plays out because in the end, whats important is not the size of the big tacky bear or heart shaped balloon, its about who you spend it with that matters most.
So this year I decided to play the surprise game with Lex and go a different route. No fancy restaurants, no hotel reservations or champagne...instead we headed to the ZOO!
Weird I know, but believe it or not the man had NEVER been to the zoo in the 33 years of his life so I thought it'd be fun to make his WILDEST dreams come true, heehee!!
The kid in a candy store smile!
I guess he was as happy as Lex to be there, lol...
The "Cuban Croc"...annnd, I'm not kidding!
I forgot my zoom lens (boohoo-loser) and couldn't get a better pic of one of my fav. animals...the white bengal tiger...what a beauty!!
This little guy had just been born earlier that morning!!!
My sexy beast roaming the grounds
Meet Savannah, the latest addition to the zoo!
And last but not least, the Lovebirds!
After reminiscing on my childhood (and creating the memory for his) we headed out to conclude our semi-romantic evening. So after spending a small fortune on just 2 drinks and a movie, I can truthfully say it was by far one of the sweetest Valentine experiences yet to date.

Sure the flowers, chocolate boxes and romantic dinners at uber expensive restaurants are a plus but that will never measure up to the quality of your company ;)
