we always celebrate valentine’s day early. mostly because we hate the crowds and reserving a place in time at our favorite restaurant and … it’s just easier that way. because camden got a really fancy record player for christmas, we thought instead of exchanging v-day gifts this year it might be fun to go and pick out a few of our favorite records together. best idea we’ve ever had. our goal was to find the beatles album, hey, jude because well … you know … but no luck this time. we instead scored another great beatles album, abbey road, an old rolling stones album, and a little elton john. we ate at our favorite spot in the city, eva. if you live in salt lake and haven’t eaten there i suggest you do so … now. we are just about to watch about time … have you seen it? it seemed like a good movie to finish off our little pre-valentine’s date night. what are your valentine’s plans this year?
Very fun!
I have to work in the evening on Valentine's Day, we are going to have a daytime date while all of our kids are in school. I'm very excited.
We kind of already celebrated Valentine's Day too, quite early! A little over a week ago, we went to Romeo and Juliet ballet. It was beautiful! The perfect way to spend our first married Valentine's Day together (and my husband surprisingly enjoyed it, too!)
I love these pictures. They capture a special moment for you guys and I'm glad you had a good Valentine's Day date! 🙂
I want to see About Time realllly bad. I will definitely have to grab it for a movie night this week 🙂
That actually seems to be a great idea, we will do that too next year. The cinema in our town is already a mess in the weekends, i imagine how worst it is in valentines weekend.
sounds like such a great date! so smart to celebrate valentine's early, we should totally start doing that too.
Love how all your record finds are UK artists 🙂 And About Time is such a great film. Fun and also British! My V-Day plans are to surprise my boyfriend by ordering Domino's pizza to his work, then when we're both home, light the fire, cook a meal together and watch a movie over a bottle of wine. Perfect!

My husband and I watched About Time yesterday. It was such a great movie!! Our Valentine's Day tradition is to go to the record store and each pick out a record. It has become tradition we both love and something we both look forward to!
these pictures are so sweet. my boyfriend and i seldom do anything on valentines day since my birthday is just two days after. we should maybe combine them i think. this looks like such a nice date.

I haven't seen About Time, but I'm going to see if it's on Netflix. 🙂 I love your pre-Valentine's Day date! So cute!

Looks like a perfect Valentine's date! I have the same record and it's one of my favorites.
Very good idea to celebrate early 🙂

Aw, what a fun idea. I know my husband is DYING to start a proper record collection. 'About Time' is such a precious film. My husband and I are both suckers for any movie that highlights the relationship between a parent and child.
What a great idea! I bought my partner a record for his Valentines day gift this year too!

Stunning pictures!
Love the pictures!! The hubby got a hotel on the river walk on a Monday so those holiday folk won't be running about. He also made reservations at Texas de Brazil. Uber excited. He has no clue his wedding ring is in the mail! Hope y'all had a blast!
that is a brilliant valentines date idea! i may just have to steal it. 🙂
what a darling idea. so smart! i saw about time this weekend and LOVED it. i hope you did too!

What a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day! I love looking for records. It’s so fun to pick something out and then go home and listen to it. I like your idea of celebrating early. We usually just make dinner at home, because the crowds are so crazy.
Please tell me where this record store is! Is it in SLC?
Love your blog!
Thank you! We just went to Graywhale on 1300 east and 208 south in SLC. Hope that helps!
