5 Weekend Getaways to Celebrate Valentines Day #BayouTravel

Valentine’s Day is all about romance and spending time with your significant other. If you are hoping to have a weekend getaway with your sweetheart, consider one of these ideas for a romantic getaway. Here are five ideas for celebrating Valentine’s Day.

Visit a Big City
Do you live just a few hours away from a large city? Consider an exciting weekend getaway in the closest city to your hometown. Plan to visit the city and take in some sights and sounds. Go to a concert or show or visit a museum. Stay in a nice hotel and eat at a restaurant or two that you’ve never visited before. Enjoy the novelty of being in a city you don’t visit often with your sweetie.

Rent a Secluded Cabin

If the hustle and bustle of a big city are not your cup of tea, consider renting a secluded cabin for a romantic getaway. Do some Internet research to look for accommodations in your area. Look for a cabin that isn’t far from a town so you can have access to restaurants if you don’t want to cook your own food. You can also check national parks that are located in your area for cabins.

Plan a Getaway in Your Town

If going to a large city or even a secluded cabin is not possible, how about planning a getaway in your very own town? Rent a room in a local hotel and take your sweetie out. Getting away can simply mean just getting away from home. Visit a new restaurant in your town or plan to spend time exploring antique stores and specialty shops that you don’t take the time to visit at other times.

Winery Weekend

How about visiting local wineries for your Valentine’s Day weekend getaway? Check around your area for local wine trails to visit with your sweetheart. Some wineries may offer tours that include accommodations and transportation and on Valentine’s Day weekend, there may be special events like concerts, wine tastings, and other activities that will make the weekend even better.

Visit Historic Sites

You can combine a romantic getaway with history if you plan to spend your weekend visiting local historic sites. Choose some sites that are within driving distance if you don’t want to spend nights away from home. Plan an itinerary of visiting historic sites and local history museums so you can learn a little about the history of your area on this special weekend.

Your romantic weekend getaway for Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be to a specific place. Be creative and focus on spending time together with your sweetheart whether you go somewhere away from home or you stay close to your own neighborhood.

    I’d love to go visit some of our local historic sites with my husband!

    There are so many historic sites in my general vicinity-I have visited them all but not for a long time. I also live not far from NYC ( a 1/2 hour train ride!) so I could take in some sites there–I am positive there is plenty I have missed in NYC even though I have lived in the area all of my life!

    toy fair is always the same time as valentines day- such a bummer! we have to celebrate it afterwards- which might be good, because, you know- less crowds. LOL

    I like these ideas so much better than going to a crowded restaurant.

    My favorite idea here is to do a winery weekend. I haven’t visited one in a couple years, but I really love doing that and it can be romantic!

    What great couple weekend trip ideas. We’ve been to a winery and really enjoyed it.

    Great ideas! I love the idea of renting a secluded cabin.

Travel is my passion! Whether I am camping nearby or on a cruise ship, my heart wants to travel and discover the world! From coast to coast, I strive to encourage others to see the world and live with a suitcase always “half packed”. I’m ready to travel, are you?
