SPLURGE VS. STEAL!
Although Brett and i are faaaar, far away in Australia right now, that doesn’t mean that our readers should go without this weekend’s date ideas. I know, we’re THAT considerate! :) There are just too few weekends during the holiday season to skip even ONE, and so much going on around this town… On that note, from sunny 90-degree Sydney (actually, i blogged this from Seattle and post-dated it, but we’ll pretend i’m blogging on the beach in my bikini right now!) i bring you this week’s version of SPLURGE vs. STEAL!
SPLURGE!
Now, for those of you who were able to hit up last weekend’s Seattle Christmas Tree lighting and were left hungry for more (or those of you who missed it and are desperate to see a lighting of your own!), why not spend a romantic weekend away in Leavenworth, Washington, and enjoy their tree lighting ceremony and festivities this weekend?? It’s the PERFECT little town to spend a cozy, quaint, and quiet weekend in!
Sounds like a magical weekend get-a-way to me! Be sure to stay at the Icicle Inn, directly across from all the action, where you can get a room with a fireplace AND a whirlpool tub for maximum romance!
If you’re a skier, you are mere minutes from both Stevens Pass and Mission Ridge, so bring your gear for a day of fun in the snow!
And if this weekend doesn’t work for you, Leavenworth has its Tree Lighting Ceremony every weekend leading up to Christmas Day! Click HERE for more information!
STEAL!
And if you’re not able to leave town on a whim this weekend, fear not! There is plenty to do in the city for next-to-nothing!
For example!
Why not meet your sweetie at the Seattle Space Needle for a walk through the Seattle Center. Hit up the Starbucks and grab a peppermint hot-cocoa to sip while checking out the Winter Train and Village, then head down to Fisher Pavilion for some Ice Skating and Carousel Riding!
Offering inside skating at its best, the Ice Rink accommodates all levels of expertise, from novice to Olympiad.
Skate fee: $5 for adults (cash only!).
November 27 - January 3
Sunday - Thursday, 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Friday & Saturday, 11 a.m. - 10 p.m.
Seattle Center, showered in thousands of twinkling lights, sets the scene for five weeks of affordable and fun-filled family activities, soulful festivities and so much more. You can also catch the monorail ($4 round trip) and head downtown for a show, a play, or some holiday drinks to keep the evening going!

Happy holidays, and happy dating!
