YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THIS.
VALENTINE'S DAY IS HERE.
AND IF YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT
IS BOOKED OR YOU'RE JUST
LOOKING FOR A DIFFERENT IDEA.
OUR MAN AROUND TOWN, PHIL
THOMPSON.
YOU HAVE ALTERNATIVE
VALENTINE'S IDEAS.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE RESTAURANT
PLANS THIS WEEKEND --
YOU MIGHT BE OUT OF LUCK.
YOU'RE NOT.
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
THERE'S SO MANY GREAT THINGS IN
THE TWIN CITIES.
AGAIN, IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE THE
RESERVATION PLANS, YOU'RE
PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET IN
WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET
CREATIVE.
HOW MANY HAVE YOU GOT FOR
US?
I HAVE FIVE AND A BONUS
PICK.
NUMBER 1, MALL OF AMERICA.
SO MANY GREAT THINGS GOING ON
AT THE MALL THIS WEEKEND.
WHAT LADY DOESN'T LIKE A LITTLE
SHOPPING.
AND THE GUY CAN EVEN PRETEND TO
LIKE IT.
THAT'S A GIFT RIGHT THERE.
HEAD OVER TO THE MALL.
ARRIVE IN STYLE.
THEY HAVE VALET GOING ON FOR
ONLY $10.
AND WHAT'S COOL IS, WHEN YOU DO
VALET, YOU GET A FREE BOTTLE OF
CHAMPAGNE AT THEIR NEW MODERN
ITALIAN RESTAURANT.
WHAT?
PRETTY COOL.
MOVIEGOERS HAVE ALL OF THIS.
THEY'VE GOT A FREE PHOTO BOOTH
IN THE EVENINGS AT THE MOVIE
THEATER.
I DID THIS WITH MY WIFE AND
STAYED AT THE HOTEL DOWN THERE.
THEY HAVE TWO NEW HOTELS
DOWN THERE.
JW MARRIOTT.
RADISSON BLU.
THEY'VE GOT ROMANCE PACKAGES.
YOU CAN STAY OVERNIGHT.
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED.
THIS NEXT ONE, THOUGH, I THINK
MIGHT BE MY KIND OF VALENTINE'S
DATE.
REALLY?
YES.
AFTON ALPS IS ALL ABOUT
PUTTING TOGETHER A GREAT
VALENTINE'S PACKAGE.
IT'S A $95 LESSON FOR TWO.
THEY'VE GOT THE LARGEST NEAT OF

AND THEY WILL TEACH YOU AT YOUR
PACE.
IF YOU'RE JUST GETTING STARTED,
THEY'LL TAKE YOU TO THE BUNNY
HILL.
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MOGULS,
GET CRAZY, THEY'LL TAKE YOU TO
WHATEVER YOU TWO ARE AT.
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN A SKIER,
WANT TO GO SNOWBOARDING.
AND YOU GET A $15 PASS TO THEIR
RESTAURANT.
PAUL'S PUB.
SO YOU GET A LITTLE RESTAURANT
ACTION WITH THAT.
BEAUTIFUL SKIING.
I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING
FUN TOGETHER.
LAUGHING AT EACH OTHER.

AND THE GOOD THING IS THEY HAVE
RESTAURANT AND BAR THAT SERVES
THINGS UP UNTIL RESTAURANT
CLOSES.
NO RESERVATIONS ACCEPTED.
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PRETEND
YOU DIDN'T FORGET.
JUST SAY, I PLANNED THIS ALL
ALONG.
THEY DON'T TAKE
RESERVATIONS, HONEY.
HOW ABOUT MAYBE STAYING
HOME.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO,
RIGHT?
THIS IS WHAT I'LL BE DOING
THIS SUNDAY, YES.
SO YOU CAN PRETEND TO COOK A
GREAT MEAL.
JUST HEAD OVER TO SURDYK'S
LIQUOR AND CHEESE SHOP.
