Valentine’s Day is landing on a Saturday this year and your significant other is expecting a perfect date. Here are some inexpensive and fun, local options.

Have a picnic.

Perhaps the least expensive and the most classic option for a Valentine’s date is a picnic. Pick up some subs or make some at home. Bring some snacks with you too. Find a spot at Lake Pine or Jordan Lake. After your meal, you can take a walk around the lake or trails. Walking usually tends to create a great, natural conversation and you can learn a lot about your date this way.
