After your early morning LA Flower District adventure, savor an authentic Hawaiian brunch at Aloha Café or other downtown LA restaurants. Plan in advance to delight her with an afternoon nap on a freshly made bed of clean crisp sheets generously sprinkled with rose petals - remember the ones you put in your pocket earlier?

Value the magic of simple gestures and small things and your romantic Valentine’s weekend will blossom into a sensuous celebration of pure love and appreciation.
