When we think of Valentine's day our
thoughts are filled with chocolates, rose, hearts and romantic
dinners with a special person. That is not all there is to
Valentine's Day. It a day to show friends and loved one you are
thinking about them, a day to spend sometime doing things with the
whole family and a day to learn a little of the nature and beauty
that surrounds us everyday.
The follow is a few events to help
celebrate the day:
Show the kids a
little of that Valentine love by taking them to the Crossroad
shopping center in Bellevue. The fun there starts at 5 in the evening
and last until 9 leaving the parents plenty of time to get the kids
home and still enjoy a romantic late evening. While you at the family
night you and the kids can enjoy the comedy, juggling and magic of
Alex Zerbe; eat free popcorn; play games and do fun Valentine's Day
crafts.
A lecture on bees
probably isn't at the top of your to-do list on Valentine's Day but
maybe it should be on there somewhere. So, if your near the Seattle
community Shoreline why not take some time and stop in at Sky nursery
where at 11 in the morning you can hear Ray Strelicki talk about the
importance of our native orchard mason bee.
Down
in Seattle suburb of Bellevue you might think about taking your
Valentine down to the Bellevue Art Museum to see the Jason Walker
exhibits. Jason Walker is a Northwest artist that does magnificent
and fanciful ceramic
sculptures depicting the natural landscapes and wildlife of the
Pacific Northwest.
Listening to live
bands and dancing is always a good way to end your Valentine's Day.
At the Blue Moon tavern in Settle you can do just that as the evening
winds down. At 8:00 three of the Northwest's up & coming hip hop
band will play some toe tapping beats. Cover charge is 5 dollars.
