Belated Valentine's dinner

My lovely Mother sent us a Valentine's Day card with cash in it so that we could have a nice dinner on her. We'd already planned to hit our favorite place, Bice, for a nice dinner and this sealed the deal. We worked until about 1 p.m., hit the pool for some sun then got cleaned up and headed downtown so that we didn't miss Bice's early dine deal. The menu is 50% off if you go between 3 and 5! SOLD! I cannot deal with this place at full price, honestly. 
Calamari for him, caprese for me!

Pasta for the both of us!

Their bolognese is amazing. 

We even splurged for dessert
(we always splurge for desert here)
Sunsets never get old
We finished dinner and then walked down to the beach to watch sunset. It is really one of the best parts of Naples: ease of getting to the beach. We had a great dinner celebrating love! ;)

Escape to Naples...

We've made the best of our escape to Naples and settling in to an enviable existence.

After work many days we've gone to the beach to walk and just enjoy. On the weekend we spent the entire time at the beach reading (me) and soaking in the sun (both of us).

Sweet little valentine 
We celebrated Valentine's down here by going out to breakfast at our favorite place, Skillets. Then we went to tour a foreclosure home that was absolutely terrible and was not a match for us. We finished up the day at the beach before coming home to cook dinner as we don't do dinner our on this romantic holiday.
