February doesn't have to be all about spending time with your partner. This is that time of year when you just need to escape somewhere on a mini (or maxi, in one case) vacation from Montreal that doesn't include icy sidewalks or construction. What better way to do that, then gathering up your best friend(s) and heading out on a getaway that will help revive the soul and make it a little easier to keep it together until spring?
There are usually two groups of people in February, those who are really starting to feel the heaviness of winter and those who are taking every opportunity to get the last of their snow activities in.
