I noticed that many of you are familiar with the CA area. I''m hoping to propose to my boyfriend of many years when we vacation in CA next month. I have all the arrangements for our trip ready -- B&Bs, tickets, even some dinner res. -- but I''m having trouble finding the perfect time and place for the proposal.
Just to put your minds at ease: He should be ready for it, though the timing will come as a surprise. We''ve talked about marriage a lot and are both excited about getting hitched. He has often claimed he''s just waiting for me to propose; so i decided to take him up on his suggestion.
I couldn''t get a reservation at french laundry, but i''m not all that excited about restaurant proposals anyhow. i''ve planned an afternoon at a spa in calistoga and then we''re checking in to a b&b in healdsburg. we both love wine, so i considered a winery/picnic setting.
i also was reading about screamin'' mimi''s -- we''re ice cream fanatics. i thought maybe we could have dinner after the spa and then get ice cream. is there a place we could walk while we enjoy our cones and end up in a good place for proposing?
i''m not familiar with the area at all and am feeling lost. help?
