Valentine's Day is coming up! February 14 is next Thursday and as parents it becomes a little difficult to find time and, quite frankly, energy for some romantic moments with your spouse.

Valentine's Day may fall in the middle of the week but who says you have to celebrate your love on the 14th?  You don't need a set date to celebrate your love for each other as long as you make time to do so. Go out the following Saturday or Sunday! Here are some ideas for a romantic grown-up night out:

• Get a sitter: Grandma and Grandpa are just itching for some quality time.
  
• Make a reservation: Easier to get at the more popular restaurants then the day of February 14.
• Go to a movie: Take this time to watch a film that doesn't involve cartoon animals or sing-song costumed dancers.  Try San Francisco's Sundance Kabuki Theater, and have some wine and cheese on the balcony.
• Dinner at home: Have a romantic night in - in an empty and quiet house.
• Play tourist: Take a day trip to the nearest tourist area and walk around, take in sights and eat some fun food.  A walk through Golden Gate Park, wine tasting in Napa or a walk in downtown Sausalito.
  

If you do find the time to have a romantic day in the following days, weeks or even months—and we suggest that you do—you may find yourself experiencing the same things as these parents.  They describe their own grown-up nights out on Parenting.com in this article, Romance-After-Baby.
