So Josh and I would like to go out of town for Valentine's Day since we have that following Monday and Tuesday off from school for Mardi Gras. Last VDay we went to Dallas but both ended up getting the flu,
. It would have been a lovely trip, but we spent most of it in our hotel room hopped up on cold meds,
.
So, any suggestions in the Louisiana/Texas/Arkansas area? We were thinking New Orleans, but since it's Mardi Gras it's going to be crazy expensive and more of a "Wohoo! PARTY" atmosphere rather than romantic. And Hot Springs, AR is probably out since my parents live there and we go there about once a month,
. So any suggestions? We're looking for no more than a 5-8hr drive since we'll be leaving Friday after I get off at six. We live in Shreveport, Louisiana which is in the NW corner of the state. Something pretty low key but with nice restraunts and some touristy stuff. And if we could get by with pretty inexpensive, yet fairly nice, hotels/B&B in the area.
