History

Couples that want to spend some private time together away from the worries of their regular lives should try renting a room at one of Nashville’s most romantic hotels. There are plenty to choose from, so there’s something for every taste. The Hermitage Hotel is by far one of the city’s finest. It has a rich history and an atmosphere that will transport you back in time. And every couple should try a weekend at the Gaylord Opryland Resort at least once. This massive resort is filled with so many things to do and sights to see that you’ll never have to leave the grounds.

If you’re feeling like doing something a little different with your special someone, try checking out one of Dallas’ more unusual tours. From ghosts to strange museums, there’s plenty to see and do. For those that like to learn oddball facts, try journeying to one or more of Dallas’ strange museums. Antique sewing machines, Dr. Pepper, telephone history and more all have their own centers for appreciation. Or try a lantern-lit walk on the West End by hooking up with the Dark Side of Dallas for one of their ghost tours.

A picnic is a great way to spend time with your loved one. It’s a classic and romantic opportunity to sit down, eat something that you prepared yourself and just enjoy a moment or two together. PointState Park is one place to check out when you want to picnic. It’s not huge, but the combination of scenery, trails and well-thought-out landscaping makes it beautiful. Or head to the much larger RiverviewPark.
