There is nothing better than escaping everyday life with your partner and being able to enjoy each other’s company without distraction. It’s important to find time for one another, but it is all too easy to let days and weeks pass you by without a date-night or some quality time.
If you and your partner are looking to reconnect, here are some perfect romantic getaway ideas you can do across America.
Walnut Wood State Park, Iowa
If you’re both into the great outdoors, why not take a camping trip? Walnut Wood State park near Des Moines is a great place to spend some quality time together. The beautiful woodland provides the perfect escape to nature and creates a romantic atmosphere you can both enjoy.
There are many trails you can explore together, or enjoy a picnic and some fishing or canoeing on the Racoon River.

The latter is an especially good idea if you want to extend your trip and head out to another campsite elsewhere.
