Looking for a nice romantic getaway for the wife(no pics) and I to celebrate our anniversery.

Anywhere in Louisiana, West MS, East TX or South Arkansas

Things on the list, we love a bar and nice restaurant, sight seeing within walking distance or a short drive, we also love nature but dont want to be very secluded.

Also we really arent into the rioting scene too much.

Any suggestions?

Check out the Grand Hotel in Point Clear or a B&B in Fairhope.
It’s and easy drive and there are food restaurants and bars around. Both are on the Mobil Bay

NOLA cold use the money, so I'd say go there, especially if it is later in the summer.

Nola is really great for something like this, but the summer is just not a great time for it because it is hot as hell for walking around, etc.

Even though I live 7 miles from downtown, I have taken my wife to stay at a B&B and a boutique hotel three or four times. Staying at a B&B in the neighborhoods just gives you totally different vibe in Nola.
I'm trying to figure out when the hotels that have pools/bars can open up so we can go stay a few nights.

Friend,

Have you considered Auburn, Alabama or its environs such as Goodwater or Tuskegee? I recently visited and have the following guide to this crumbling area of the South. Some of these towns likely will not exist in an inhabited state in the next few decades. They represent a dying culture.

TulaneLSU's Top 10 staircases of Auburn University
TulaneLSU's Top 10 trees of Auburn University
TulaneLSU’s Top 10 flowers of Auburn University
TulaneLSU's Top 10 pizzas of Auburn, AL
TulaneLSU's guide to Goodwater, AL
TulaneLSU's vacation to Tuskegee, AL
TulaneLSU's Top 10 signs of Ashland, AL
TulaneLSU's review of The Hotel at Auburn University
TulaneLSU's hike of Cave Creek Trail in Cheaha, AL
TulaneLSU’s Top 10 sculptures in the Auburn University Museum’s sculpture garden
TulaneLSU's Top 10 churches of Auburn and Opelika, AL
TulaneLSU’s Top 10 signs of Auburn, AL

Please let me know if you go there; I would love to hear how it went. I would stay at The Hotel at Auburn if you go as Goodwater does not have any hotel rooms available.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

Friend,

If you bring your wife to Auburn for a romantic anniversary, your love life will be ruined.

Friend,

I will disagree with your statement, with due respect given. Love is not seasoned by geography. While some cities or landscapes may accentuate romance, love is neither born nor dies from place. Love, as St. Paul said, bears all things, including places you may not like. However, Auburn as a town is a winsome and enamoring place. I have only experienced it during a pandemic's solitude. Nevertheless, I thought it would have been a splendid location to romance a worthy lady in gentility and with respect and without a hint of concupiscence.

Below are some of my unreleased photos of Auburn University, that I hope you will enjoy.












New construction in the biosciences section of campus.










Cold water plant.




McDonald's on-campus.




A security guard I met while walking around campus told me that Auburn has the best fisheries department in the nation. I was so intrigued that I visited the man-made ponds just north of campus. I hoped to wet a line, but there were signs reading, "No Fishing."


The performing arts center.


The new DO school on campus.


While I do not like sidewalks that are fully bricked, Auburn's sidewalks have enough concrete that walking for me was safe. I strongly suggest that you do not walk on bricks, as it may cost you your volleyball career. The area to the left is a lovely lawn that would make for a perfect romantic picnic location. If one would prefer more privacy, the arboretum would be another great, yet private, picnic spot.




The President's house

Faith, Hope, and Love,
TulaneLSU
