Five
Romantic Vacation Ideas
Romantic vacation ideas? We all have our own ideas about
what makes for a romantic vacation, but here are some to get you thinking.
What makes a vacation romantic? Let's start with examples
before definitions. Here are a few romantic vacation ideas.
An ocean cruise is certainly a classic romantic vacation.
Why not escape it all - even the sight of land. Isolated together out at sea,
in the comfort of a cruise ship - that can be very romantic. There are a couple
things to consider, though, if you want to keep the romance going.
First, thoroughly investigate and talk about your
options. Perhaps you both were assuming the other wanted a traditional
warm-water cruise, when in reality you both would love to watch whales and
glaciers on an Alaskan cruise. It's not just about the many possible
destinations, either. There are different styles of cruises, from pure
sightseeing ones to more active ones to "party boats." Be sure the
cruise has activities that you'll enjoy participating in together.
You also need to be sure you budget enough so money
worries don't steal the romance from the vacation. Think about what you'll be
doing, both on and off the ship. It isn't romantic to run out of money on a
vacation, and cruise ship bars are notoriously expensive.
Romantic vacations might include train rides, if you both
like to relax and take in the scenery. The Royal Gorge Train, here in Canon
City, Colorado, for example, takes you for a stunning ride through the gorge
and along the Arkansas river. The dining cars serve great meals and the windows
on some cars co overhead, so you can easily take in the view above.
Budget Romantic Vacation Ideas
The sun, sand, and the sound of the waves can relax you
and take away the stress and worry of "everyday life," but beach
vacations can get pricey. If money is tight, you can do like we did in northern
Florida. We camped in our conversion van at a state campground on the beach.
Our days were spent collecting shells together, swimming, and flying a kite.
One evening we took our chairs down by the water to watch the sunset. The
beaches of the Great Lakes are another great place for a romantic vacation, and
are even more affordable.
Another low-cost romantic vacation idea is to rent the
little cabins that can be found in many state parks. Wilderness State Park in
northern Michigan, for example, has cabins that are closer to the beach, and
those that require you to hike into the woods a few miles. They are reasonable,
and you can pack in good food and a bottle of wine to add to the romance.
It can be very affordable and romantic to spend some time
together in a small town that is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Some of our
favorites include Lone Pine, California, Anaconda, Montana, Silverton,
Colorado, and Marquette, Michigan. Try wandering the streets of walkable small
towns, exploring the woods and fields around them, eating in local cafes and
going to classic small-town theaters. For my wife and I, this
is one of our favorite romantic vacation ideas.
