How We Spent Our Valentine's Day

So how did we spend our Valentine's Day? Our celebration was just simple but unique in a way that we started our day very early with the goal of attending a funeral in Dallas. An 83-year old WW2 veteran died and was supposed to be buried today. We went to the cemetery on time, driving around looking for a group of people somewhere but ten minutes later we found no one was there except for 2 or 3 other cars in there visiting their loved ones.

So my husband called Home Depot ( the dead man's former work place) only to find out that the funeral was rescheduled. We weren't upset about that despite of the bone chilling temperature this morning instead we continued to roam around the cemetery and took lots of pictures. It was such an honor to have visited the graveyard of World War 2, Korean and Vietnam wars survivors! I thought wow I can't believe I am in this place right now.

The place is called Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery. I loved it there because of the wide wide area of tombs neatly arranged plus there was also a couple squares of columnbarium as they call it and people buried there died in 2002-2008 and the ones on the grounds died a long long time ago. What I loved most in that place is the breathtaking view of the snow caps covering the small hills, the lake surrounded by white dusting snow and as you stand near the lake you can see the tombs all over as well as the hills with pine trees. It was just a natural beauty on Earth and the most beautiful cemetery I've ever seen and ever been.

After exploring the cemetery and taking pictures (I'll share pictures later once my USB cable arrives promise it is really beautiful out there!) we headed to P.F Chang Bistro to have our lunch date. We had a fine lunch date there indeed. Nice company (baby and husband) and tasty food that made my Valentine's Day an awesome one.

How about you guys? How did you celebrate your Valentine's Day? Any stories to share?
