Top 8 Romantic Dates in Milledgeville
2) Stargazing: One great thing about Milledgeville’s “smaller city” aspect is that it doesn’t require a long drive to find an uncongested, quiet, dark road. Head up 441 past Wal-Mart or the opposite direction entirely, and surely the perfect location will find you. Warmer weather is better, but colder weather calls for more clothing layers, hot chocolate in a thermos, and cuddling. Always bring blankets!
3) Dinner and Dessert on the Town: The cliché night out does not have to be so cliché. Make it your own. You want dessert first- go for it! Here are some suggestions: For a fancy, “dress-up dinner” check out 119 Chops downtown, which provides a speakeasy atmosphere and live jazz bands twice a month, or Sylvia’s on North Columbia Street. Although more expensive dining, they are sure to be a special treat. For dessert go to any Milledgeville favorite, such as Scoops downtown.
4) Take a Hike: Bartram Forest or Lockerly Arboretum have idyllic woodland and nature trails for a short stroll or longer hike. Get outdoors and breathe some fresh air together. Each also offers serene picnic locations for sunny days. The Bartram forest entrance is located on Carl Vinson Road, south of Milledgeville off U.S. Hwy. 441 towards Dublin. To visit Lockerly Arboretum head south on Wayne Street from historic downtown, it will be about one mile on the left.
5) Grab a Couch at Blackbird Coffee: Whether for an event, like acoustic night, or on a cold, rainy afternoon order your favorite specialty coffee drink and pull up a seat. Just talking can be fun, but for your inner geek, pull out the games for two, like Scrabble, Checkers, or Connect-Four.
6) Become a Chef: For those with nagging roommates or no kitchen, this may not be as enjoyable, but for the people with kitchens and room to spare this is a less expensive option. First, pick out a recipe both people have never tried and head to the store for the supplies. Second, begin cooking with your favorite music playing in the background.
Nothing quite like home cooking adventures and dancing to your favorite music. Third, enjoy the outcome or laugh about it!
7) Get Green at Oconee Greenway: In warmer weather go tubing down the Oconee River or bike-riding along the trails. This time of year walk along the water buddled up in your favorite coat and take in the scenery, far away from school and responsibilities.
“Car” Date: Who says everyday chores cannot be romantic? One weekend afternoon get your cars together and spend an afternoon “working at the car wash.” Jump in with your favorite CD’s and just go for a ride. When was the last time you drove for fun? See where the road leads you!
