If you are in love and living in the Lone Star State, you will no doubt feel almost giddy with the almost infinite number of places to visit in Texas. There is no better way to show your true love how much you care than to find the right place in Texas to spend a carefree day, weekend, or more time together. You really can’t go wrong.
Or can you? As noted above, Texas is large and has several places you can visit with your partner, but trying to find the right place can feel like a needle in a haystack. How would you start?
First of all, don’t panic. You two lovebirds have conquered more in your relationship than choosing where to go on a romantic getaway. You got this. The key to getting started is knowing what your partner likes. It’s that easy. Next, find the right balance between spontaneity and careful planning when the two of you can go together. Finally, keep it simple. It is important to remember that a romantic getaway is about you and your true love.
All that said, if you’re really clueless and scared to death you’re really going to screw things up, here are a few places to consider when planning your next romantic date:
Brenham, TX – Tucked between Houston and Austin, Brenham is a quintessential Texas city that allows you to reconnect with the world around you and focus on your loved one. It is very close to stellar wineries, beautiful wildflowers, Blue Bell ice cream, history, and small town charm.
South Padre Island, TX – Although primarily known as a party destination, during rest periods this area is the relaxing getaway for residents (mostly families) of the southern tip of Texas known as the Rio Grange Valley. There is more to this place than spring break. Enjoy the gentle crash of the waves with your loved one while taking a walk on the beach at sunset.
Austin, TX – Why not visit the capital city of Texas? From architecture, diversity in culture, and a thriving music scene, you’ll see exactly why this Texas city is so important on the international stage. If you and your partner are eclectic, hip, and interested in getting lost in the culture of the one and only (the city’s mantra is “Keep Austin Weird”), Austin is for you.
Fredericksburg, TX – If you are looking for a true Texas city with a rich history, steeped in culture, adjacent to big cities in a short drive and firmly planted in the Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg is a premier destination. It’s one of the most popular places in Texas for couples to visit, and when you get there, you immediately understand why.
Road trip to Texas – Some may consider this an excuse, but the truth is that you can go through the list of cities and towns in Texas and highlight something really surprising about them. Why not make some mixed CDs or playlists of your two favorite songs, pack a bag or two, and hit the road. Experience the adventures as they come.
There are many places to visit in Texas. It’s a matter of finding the right one for you and your true love. The good thing is that as long as they are by your side, you are golden.
