Sauget, Illinois: One of America's Most Romantic Getaways
I know technically Sauget is apart of the greater St. Louis area, but in my opinion, it really should be considered the greatest St. Louis area!

Located on the border of Illinois and Missouri, Sauget is a must visit destination for people all across the Midwest. Known by some as "Ballet du Sauget", you can tell that high culture and entertainment are a priority in this lovely community.

Instagram promotes amazing destinations by sneakily allowing them to show up on your feed as you scroll while you’re waiting for the bus after work.

Alexandria, LA: One of America's Most Romantic Getaways
When most people (especially us Americans) think of romantic vacation getaways, places like the Bahamas, Paris, London, Napa Valley, Las Vegas, Venice, or maybe even Sydney are some of the more commonly discussed places on this planet of Earth. New Orleans, the largest city in Louisiana, often tops most romantic city lists regularly as well, and for good reason. The bountiful amount of restaurants, bars, historical sites, museums, hotels, and more are sure to keep even the most unhappy couple too busy to bicker. However, about three and a half hours northwest of NOLA lies a hidden gem full of excellent chefs whose skills could match the best in France, exquisitely beautiful hiking trails that explore deep, lush woods, and fancy (but most importantly cheap!) hotels. From the headline, I'm sure you are well aware I am referring to the criminally underrated, gorgeous small town of Alexandria, Louisiana.
