Here's another option for your Valentine's Day plans - Wrightsville Beach, N.C., a hidden coastal gem and a suitable romantic getaway to consider, whether you love poetry, movies, scenery, outdoors or food!

Off nice and early tomorrow for my first time to Salt Lake City where some dear friends are relocating. Will be my first time to the city and my first time visiting them there. So yes, that is my idea of a perfect weekend getaway - meeting old friends and visiting new places. I have three whole days there and want to relax but also check out a few touristy attractions to check off my list for my first visit to any place in Utah. The weather will be cooler than what I have been accustomed to the last few days but day temperatures seem worthy of some outdoor adventures so hope to get a bike or segway tour in the works. Other places am I eyeing are Temple Square, Red Butte Garden and Beehive House. More ideas courtesy Visit Salt Lake. Not sure how much I will be able to fit in but rest assured there will be a flurry of updates right here!
