Valentine's Day at the Mansion on O Street proved to me that magic exist, not just in the mind. Our host stood at the door waiting to show me the way. Our Valentine's Day Large bouquets of flowers surrounded endless dishes filled with fancy omelets, crepes, waffles, thick peppered bacon, and sausages of every type. Large banquet tables were filled with many varieties of international and regional food dishes. The colorful desserts were scrumptious sight to be seen. Cupid's spark hit me as I mixed cheeses and fresh berries in scoops of flowing chocolate fondue. Every moment a waiter appeared pouring champagne mimosas, juices, herbal tea, coffee, and diet Coke for my wife. We were giddy like school children when a heart shaped cake arrived at our table. Specially made to honor my heart's affection.
After we were content on dining, a clever scavenger hunt was designed for us to enjoy. A clue sheet was given to find secret treasures that contribute to the magic of the mansion. We wandered through many looking glass doors and secret passages. Hidden rooms were found behind shelves filled with herbs and spices. I wish the mysterious H.H. would please reveal the location of the "6 of Hearts" or the "Champagne bottle Saber"? Couples need to experience this place together. Make sure to say the right password.
