People are sleeping on how gorgeous the coast of Oregon can be. Especially during this time of year when you can watch not only magnificent gray whales, but even bigger

waves crashing against the beach.

Most people go to Woodstock for the eponymous music festival, but it's actually a great place to check out come winter, especially if you like to ski!

Step back in time a little by visiting this quaint, traditional western town. Hey, maybe the surroundings will bring out some role playing ideas. Bandits on the run anyone?

This is perfect for a couple looking to get away from the confines of a busy city and open up to place that’s all about serving up some serious solitude.

Plus, while you think there won’t be any winter white - it does snow there and it looks absolutely stunning topping those red rocks.

It’s hard to deny this city during the winter. Yes, it can be incredibly freezing but skating at Rockefeller Center, a mild snowfall horse carriage ride through Central Park, a

miracle over on 34th Street - that totally happens all the time, right?

It’s basically like heading to see Santa, only instead of a big dude with a bunch of toy making minions, you’ll be able to gaze upon the Northern Lights, and

ride real life dog sleds.

We get it. This doesn’t have the sexiest name in the book, but it’s exceptionally secluded and there’s a possibility of scoring a quaint Airbnb.

Bundle up (or down) once you’re inside a charming little cabin. Don’t forget the bearskin rug!

Like a picture straight out of one of those calendars your grandma always has for some reason, this place is beautiful with a capital B. If you’re looking to head

east, please stay at one of the bed and breakfasts.

The name sort of says it all. Expect old country road, plenty of rivers and a sense you’re away from it all. Which is exactly what you want when it

comes to a romantic getaway.

Winter Wonderland can mean a number of things and for some couples that may mean getting the hell away from the cold entirely. If that’s you - you really can’t

beat the tropical wonder that is Hawaii.
