Besides the big two (Thanksgiving and Christmas), I'm not really into commercialized holidays, and so I really don't take much stock in celebrating Valentine's Day normally.  That was before I got married however.  To explain: as it turns out, and unbeknownst to me at the time, I first spoke to my now wife on the phone for the first time on Valentine's Day 9 years ago.  From her perspective, she thought I was extremely brave to do that -- again, I just lost track of the date.  Long story short, since that day, Valentine's Day has been the celebration of the first time I made contact with my wife.  We like Cannon Beach, OR as an outdoor destination.  We love the pizza from Pizza a fetta.  If you ever end up at Cannon Beach, do yourself a favor and try their smoked chicken pizza.  Smoked chicken, fresh tomatoes and other assorted herbs.  Absolutely delicious.
