It's early Tuesday morning and I've been scouring the internet for Valentine's Day ideas in NH.  The first 2 restaurants I looked up are already booked up for Valentines Day so I figured I'd try to find something a little different than dinner & a movie.  I found some ideas that are actually somewhat romantic.   I also threw in a couple ideas for anybody who will not be celebrating with a significant other.

1) The Fire & Ice Festival in Portsmouth.  The festival kicks off this Thursday and runs through Monday.  By Valentine's Day the celebration will be in full effect  Some of the romantic things include ice skating, dog sled rides, hot chocolate by the fire pits or check out the Ice Bar, luges and ice sculptures at the Ice Deck.

2) Sleigh Ride Social at Charmingfare Farm in Candia.  What else could be as romantic as taking your significant other on a beautiful 2 hour horse drawn sleigh ride.  You are dropped at a big bonfire social where you can roast hot dogs, toast marshmallows, sip hot chocolate and snuggle up to your honey.

3)  Take a "Made in NH" chocolate tour.  This article courtesy of the Union Leader details 8 different NH businesses that make their own chocolate & other tasty confections.

 

4) Book a getaway at a romantic New England Inn.   Here is a list of 12 romantic Inns located right here in New Hampshire.  Don't forget, Valentine's Day is this Saturday so you may want to call now before they are all booked up.

5)  Couples massage.  I've had the opportunity to do a couples massage in the past and am looking forward to the next time I can do that.  Massage Envy & Chill are 2 great spots for couples massages.

And for those of you not in a relationship, here are a couple ideas for you.  Who knows, maybe you'll bump into your future husband or wife here.

1)  Chairlift Speed Dating.  At Black Mountain in Jackson NH, it's the 8th annual Chairlift Speed Dating event.  You will ride the "Lift of Love" and have the opportunity to meet your match on the chairlift.  And afterwards there will be a special Valentine's apres event where prizes will be given away to new couples and the winner of the “Best Pick-up Line” contest.

2) If you actually have a distaste for Valentine's Day, you can join other like minded people for the Shaskeen's annual Anti-Valentine's Day Party.  Live music and the only requirement is to wear black.
