A nights stay at a 4 star hotel? Nah. Dinner at a fancy restaurant? Snooze. Roses? No thanks. Heart shaped box of chocolates? Barf. All I wanted for V-Day was … an outdoor picnic in the woods with Mitchell … and I got it. We packed up and headed into the great outdoors.
We wanted an intimate setting without a lot of spectators … so we had to do a bit of trailblazing. Thigh highs … snow style.
Mitchell lead the way through the frozen tundra (thigh deep snow ... seriously) and we found a cozy little nook amongst some friendly looking shrubs and trees. We did a little dance on the snow, packed it down tight and made ourselves at home.
Plastic bags worn on feet are all the rage over in Europe … I’m sure it will catch on over here soon.
A little mood lighting ……..
fancy pants beverage …..
Cheers. Our picnic consisted of avocado potato salad, chips and salsa, cinn-a-lips, candy orange slices and sour gummy worms…. we’re fancy like that.
Mitchell poured himself a tall glass of landscape.
I personally think this should be part of a new cinn-a-lips ad campaign … Mitchell definitely has a future in modeling.
Slimy … from Sesame Street paid us a visit

Wow, a visit with a Sesame Street personality!!!! How did you luck out?!!! Oh, and the heavenly retreat in the forest was kind of neat too. You two are a match made in heaven, or should I say the "funny farm." Happy Valentine's Day to our favorite goof balls!
Oooohhh, what a perfectly lovely Valentinesy wintry picnic! I don't believe I've ever picnicked in the snow, and from your pics and descrip, I totally feel like I'm missing out!!! And another thing, how can you look that beautiful while you're out tromping though the snow, Erin. If I believed in luck, I'd say my brother sure lucked out!! What great memories of your first married V-day!
Brian proposed to me in February. He made a picnic and drove us to Bridal Veil Falls for a hike. I had NO CLUE what he'd been planning. Who goes on a snow picnic in February? Guess we weren't the only ones. Thanks for the memories.
I think you are crazy. But then the awesome photos convince me you know how to have more fun than anyone else I know. :)
oh shucks monette. thanks ... and yes you are missing out indeed. we are only semi crazy alicia ... semi.
You guys are cute together. I want that someday
Adventurous and romantic; I'd say that is the formula for a long and happy marriage. Glad you can still have fun in the cold and snow. Fun pictures!
