Couples destinations that you can find in your own backyard include state and national parks, which I think are terrific places to go hiking, or even to camp and to stay overnight at a very low cost. There are, of course, museums in most urban areas. There are also offbeat museums that you may never think of going to, but can be just a short drive from where you are. Those are all things that you should take advantage of. Also, there are free cultural offerings, particularly in the summer, including summer music festivals in many major urban areas. Right in your backyard and it won't cost you a dime.
