Happy Valentine’s Day Portland - Ideas for Expressing Your Love
Feb 14th, 2008 by Jody McLeod
I have decided this year to not spend money on Valentine’s Day cards. Instead I am determined to try and find more unique ways to express my feelings for my loved ones that doesn’t involve killing trees or helping to make a greeting card company rich. One example is this very cool Valentine’s video:

And for you Portlanders who haven’t already made Valentine’s plans, don’t worry, there’s still time! The great thing about Portland is the variety of events that are happening every day.
Tonight you could dine on a decadent buffet and listen to cool tunes at Jupiter Hotel’s Whipped Event or tomorrow night you could experience the controlled chaos of a live Live Wire show at the Aladdin Theater where China Forbes of Pink Martini fame will be performing.
For a more casual weekend you could take your honey to the Yard, Garden & Patio Show being held this weekend at the Oregon Convention Center or perhaps have a tree planted in his or her honor by Friends of Trees. All it takes is a tax-deductible contribution of $25.
Maybe your idea of the perfect Valentine’s date is to hide away in a cozy corner of a dimly lit restaurant. Hummm? The folks over at Opentable.com have a list of Portland restaurants that are serving up special Valentine’s Day menus. Ahhh, food and romance - a timeless combination.
As you ponder your Valentine’s Day agenda, I will leave you with a quote about love from Nicholas Sparks: “Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.”
