Romance is alive in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, even if you are on
a shoestring budget. Just a short 2-3 hour drive north of the Texas

Bend State Park area. Here your efforts will be rewarded with all
the natural beauty, quiet surroundings and privacy you need for a
romantic time with that special someone. You won't believe you are
so close to home, since McCurtain County feels like it is a world

Here are 6 ideas for cheap romantic vacations near Dallas/Fort
Worth in McCurtain County:
1. Polish your skills in the old-fashioned art of
conversation:
As famed love doctors and Dear Abby-types the world over have said
for ages, a sure-fire way to rekindle your love affair is through
quality communication. Engaging in easy, meandering conversations
about nothing-in-particular amidst beautiful surroundings can
stimulate the mind, body and soul and bring forth romantic feelings
in the two of you in a big way. The Beavers Bend State Park area
near Dallas/Fort Worth features acres of pristine forestland, lakes
and mountains to serve as the backdrop for the types of romantic
conversations that warm the heart and bring you closer together. A
slow hike in the beautiful woods can stir many a romantic
notion.
2. Re-discover your love of board games:
How long has it been since you have played Scrabble, Parcheesi,
checkers, dominos or Monopoly? Or put together a puzzle? Ages, I
will bet. In today's wired world of MP3 players, PDAs and text
messaging, it is easy to forget some of the simpler pastimes that
you used to enjoy so much. If your memories of simpler times
include the playing of your favorite games at home or in the
backyard, imagine playing them against the backdrop in an area that
LIFE magazine voted as one of the "100 Places to See in Your
Lifetime."
3. Get friendly with the wildlife and the night sky:
Beavers Bend State Park has wildlife you will be hard pressed to
find in D/FW Metroplex: deer, turkey, rabbits, quail, hundreds of
different species of birds, an occasional black bear and even
migrating bald eagles! Talking long walks or sitting just outside
your cabin, you and your special someone will be afforded many
opportunities to spend time with the flora and fauna that make the
area renowned for its beauty. At night, the stars are unencumbered
by city lights and you will find stars, and planets, the Milky Way
and constellations you haven't seen in a long while . . . if
ever.
4. Rent a luxury cabin:
In McCurtain County there are a host of providers of luxury cabins,
many of which are complete with kitchens, fireplaces and hot tubs.
Start your culinary adventure with a trip to the local grocery
store, picking out your favorite veggies, pastas and meats. Then,
enjoy the lunch or dinner you cooked together next to the window or
outside while you watch the wildlife go by. Of course, a glass of
wine and a spell in the hot tub should heat things up as
well.
5. Picnic next to a picturesque stream:
Picnics are one of the most classically-romantic activities in
which a couple can engage. The food, the beverages, the blanket,
the surroundings - it can all add up to big-time romance. In
McCurtain County, you won't have to look far to find the ideal spot
to lay out your blanket, set out your basket and enjoy each other's
company over a sumptuous feast or peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches. Whether you choose to prepare your food in your cabin
or purchase a ready-made meal at one of the local food stores,
picnics are a great way to create an ambiance of romantic
fun.
6. Enjoy a glass of wine on your own private porch under the
stars:
If you are a wine lover, bring a bottle or two with you on your
McCurtain County romantic vacation getaway. Whether your fancy is
red or white wine, you will enjoy it more when sitting on your
private porch looking at scenery in an area that the Dallas
Observer voted as the "Best Getaway from Dallas." The fresh scent
of pine trees and the infinitely starry sky stretching out above
you - combined with the ambrosia from a glass of your favorite wine
- will together serve as natural aphrodisiacs.
