5 ROMANTIC WEEKEND DESTINATIONS
NATIONAL OR STATE PARK CABIN RENTALS
This is one that varies from state to state, but if you live within a few hours of a National Park or State Park that offers cabin rentals, give them a call and arrange for a few nights in a secluded cabin without all the distractions of the city. Most cabin rentals will have a TV and DVD player with a selection of movies to choose from, but no wifi or cable. This gives you time to play games, cookout, relax, go for hikes and simply enjoy each other without the distractions of daily life. If you live in a cooler state during the month of February, you can even cuddle up next to a fire. Reasonable rates for rental and the ability to bring your own groceries to cookout, make this a great choice for those on a limited budget.
HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA
If the key to a man’s heart is through his stomach then the key to romancing a lady comes with copious amounts of chocolate and spa days. Hershey is a fun historic area home to the most well-known chocolate brand around. Not only can you find romantic hotel stays nearby, you can schedule an all-day couples Spa Day featuring chocolate “mud” baths, couples deep tissue massages and chocolate and/or wine tastings that will be sure to please both parties.
