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.

Whatever camp you may fall into, we have you covered; from a little pampering in the city and quiet retreats in the country to skiing at an acclaimed mountain and eating your weight in seafood in the U.S. And for the sun worshippers, there's even something for you.

If you're happy enough to share accommodations and sometimes the price of a rental car, the cost for most of the trips will decrease. So pack as many of your friends in as you can to save the most money.

Take a look below at seven of the ultimate girlfriend vacations that won't cost you more than $600.
