Where's Everyone Going for Valentine's Day?
 
Is anyone going anywhere fun tomorrow? We are headed up to the Chuckchansi Gold Resort and Casino for the night. This place is in Coarsegold, CA. The rooms were just finished in June, so it will be interesting to see how it turned out.

We have been to the casino, but I'm looking forward to spending the night. Seven great restaurants on-site. We have dinner reservations at Ducey's on the Lake for dinner in Bass Lake. Always wonderful here.

The next day we will do the wine tasting at Erna's Elderberry House and have lunch at their cafe. Should be a nice time and not too far from home! www.basslake.com and www.chuckchansigold.com are some websites for those interested. Happy Valentine's Day! ***kim*** :)

We are going up to SF to have dim sum and wander around GG Park.

Am I seeing doubles or this is a duplicate Valentine's thread? Or maybe my reply got deleted? :-@

My daughter is going to Birmingham AL tomorrow. She THOUGHT she was going today, but after her flight from Providence to National (DC) she and her husband and infant got bumped. Fortunately, we have relatives in the DC area that they can stay with.

Apparently National was an an oversold zoo complete with overloaded shuttle buses and nonsense excuses about the flight not really being oversold, just too heavy for B'ham's short runways. Excuse me, did the runway change suddenly?! It's school vacation week for a lot of places here in the Northeast, all the flights are booked solid, what a mess.

J, that sounds really fun! Where do you go for your dim sum? We almost booked a room at the Fairmont and got Lion King tickets, but have to be back on Sun. to take the gang snow-boarding! Have fun! SF is such a romantic place. ***kim***

Taking my daughter to the ballet tomorrow for an afternoon performance then a romantic dinner with hubby. The real romance is in April when we go to Mexico...

We just spent the last 5 hours driving up from L.A. to Monterey. And here we are!!! Going to the wharf for dinner tonight, and for Valentine's Day, I booked us for Fandangos in Pacific Grove.

Decided at the last minute that we were leaving too late, as usual, so didn't take the bikes as planned. It looks like the weather is going to hold (only a little rain for about 5 minutes outside of King City), so we'll rent tomorrow, then head over to Pt. Lobos (a first for me!).

We are headed to the China Grill in South beach tonite.

Surfergirl, you are in for a nice treat with Pt. Lobos! Enjoy our beautiful coast and Happy Valentine's Day! BTW, California Market at the Highland's Inn is a great place for apps and a glass of wine on their beautiful outdoor patio! ***kim*** :)

Thanks for the heads up Kimamom! Now for the other search for the bagpiper; I remember one thread with that -- see if I can bring it up, but if not, do you know which hotel/restaurant?

PamSF Feb 14th, 2004 09:04 AM

Out and about then up the road a piece for a dinner party with friends. We stayed in last eveing,drank champagne and ate cold cracked crab! And, KAL I've been wondering where you've been! It's a valentines treat to see you back on the threads! Hello to Mrs. Kal too!

My 17 year old daughter is using her own money (!) to take dear old Mom to dinner. She has instructed me to be ready by 6:15pm and she's driving.
I am sure it'll be Chili's or TGI Friday's but to me it might as well be a 5 Star restaurant. It's so sweetwhen your kids do nice things for you. I am very lucky.

iamq Feb 14th, 2004 09:46 AM

Nowhere, but home. My sweetheart and I are cooking up Osso Buco, setting a romantic table and have quiet evening at home. Yum....

phieaglefan Feb 15th, 2004 05:51 AM

Gosh, I'm so jealous. I spent my Valentines day with my feet propped and reading Fodor's posts. I'm recovering from self-inflicted surgery, but I should be rarin' to go to California in 4 weeks. Yeah!

TxTravelPro, that was such a nice sentiment. I have a 17 & 18 year old. Actually I'd welcome it from the 17 year old. If it was the boy (18) I'd just be fretting because he spends all his money!

Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day!

kimamom - we go to Hong Kong Seafood on Noriega and 33rd. The food is good, the prices are low AND it's easy to find street parking out in that neighborhood. In Chinatown I like New Asia on Pacific. We go there if we are going to be downtown anyway.

kimamom Feb 15th, 2004 06:03 PM

Hi Surfergirl! I hope this isn't too late. The bagpiper plays at sunset at Roy's in Pebble Beach. I hope you get to hear him/her play, it's beautiful!! ***kim***
