Getaways to Texas that will spark romance
When people talk about getaways to Texas, they often tend to wax poetic about the rugged terrain and small-town charm that the Lone Star State has to offer visitors. While Texas serves as a tremendous example of some of the most amazingly diverse landscapes in the country, there is so much more to the state.
This, in turn, brings us to the theme of love and romance. Whether you’re focusing on romantic dates like Valentine’s Day or just celebrating special occasions like anniversaries, you’d really be doing yourself a lot of favors by thinking about what Texas has to offer in the way of romantic getaways. The state is little more than people saying “Damn” and “Dag-nabit.” The vast expanses and diverse natural areas give rise to incredible places to celebrate your love for your partner.
You certainly want to find the most picturesque area to have some meaningful “alone time” without the hustle and bustle of city noise. In fact, if you look at how Texas has developed over the years, part of what has been happening is that there has been a lot of effort to keep things as natural as possible. Some might go so far as to call these areas rural, but ultimately rural is too much of a misnomer to imply a place “in the sticks.”
Probably one of the most popular places to find all the right ingredients for the ultimate romantic getaway is to head to the Washington County area. For example, if you’re both too caught up in needing to be close to a big city, you actually have Austin and Houston just a day’s drive away. If you’re both a college football fan, you’re a day’s drive from College Station, home of the Texas A&M Aggies. While you’re there, you can indulge your love of US history by visiting the George HW Bush Presidential Library and Museum. It really has to be said that this area of the state has it all.
Still, these are not the most romantic places you could enjoy. Sure, if you both love them, great, but we’re looking for a legit romance. You could enjoy a wine tasting together while exploring the county’s Wine Trail, which includes four fine examples of Texas wineries located in Brenham, Chapel Hill and Burton, Texas. You could even explore the three spas in Brenham, which cover all facets of relaxation and even incorporate Eastern medicine! Once you’ve had your thoroughly relaxing spa treatments and truly inspiring wine tastings in Texas, you can choose to stay at the many bed and breakfasts and hotels in the area. If you’re looking to really up the ante on the romance factor, you can choose to stay in one of at least ten vacation rental properties that showcase the area’s beauty and charm to the nth degree (that means big time!) !
Texas getaways are about more than hiking trails and tumbleweeds. The Lone Star State is all about catering to your every need, and it doesn’t skimp when it comes to romance.
