Madison is for...Lovers?

Maybe lovers of Lenin, but not romantic love.

But according to USA Weekend, the weekend version of USAToday, it is the 'best destination in America' for Valentine's Day.

I kid you not.

Destination: Madison, Wis. (U.S.) and Dubrovnik(international)

Says who? Peter Greenberg, "Today" show travel editor, and Amy Ziff, Travelocity.com editor, respectively.

Greenberg says "anywhere I happen to be with someone I love" is ideal, but he chose the chilly state capital as the U.S. town that "lends itself to cuddling." And Dubrovnik's rich history and gorgeous location make the Croatian city "magical," Ziff says. "Sitting at the bar outside at Hemingway's, staring at people walking down the Placa and looking up at the stars or wandering the museums -- Dubrovnik is quite the city for lovers."

I'll give the location with its two lakes as added pluses. But on your average February 14^th it's really cold out, so you could enjoy the view with your beloved. But only for about a minute or two before your extremities tell you it's time to come in.
