Happy Valentine’s Day

What are YOU doing for Valentine’s Day? Going out to a fancy dinner, sending flowers, giving candy, or staying at home while you eat chocolate and watch one of the 60 Most Romantic Movies?

Here’s one idea from, surprisingly, Google, and it won’t cost you a dime. Send an electronic card that includes a map reminding your sweetie of a place that has a special meaning for you both. Here is an excerpt from the Official Google Blog:

Location can be a powerful trigger of memories—from the Italian place in San Francisco where you went on your first date to the cabin you rented at Lake Tahoe with your roommates. For that reason, we thought it would be great to create a Valentine’s Day card that’s tied to a specific location. As long as there’s a place that means something special to you and the ones you love, mapping your valentine is a great way to make Valentine’s Day a little more special.

One of my favorite memories is from a family trip we took to Eilat in Israel (check out my awesome fashion sense, I’m on the far left…), so I sent my parents this card:
