A getaway thats not to far

[Guest uofmeet]

My and the Wife are going to be taking a long weekend for our anniversary in November. Thinking about maybe going somewhere max 4 hours away from Memphis. But not sure where to go? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Would like something not to expensive with something to do for a couple of days. And preferably a smaller town type atmosphere....Not going to Nashville. Maybe somewhere in AR or something.....

What ya got?

Eureka Springs!

And if you're the spiritual type, they do a notorious "Passion Play." Small town art community that's bigger than it sounds with high-end art shops all the way down to side-of-the-road cheapies. Bed-N-Breakfasts. Clean air.

I know you said small town stuff but one of our personal favorites is ST. Louis! I spent 3 years there at school and there is just SO MUCH to do.

And there is small town stuff to do close by in Alton IL, Defiance MO etc,

Or take a look at Mountain View, AR. I go up there once or twice a year and rent a cabin for a few days.

If you're into backpacking/ camping, check out Virgin Falls Pocket Wilderness. Just outside Cookeville, not far from Fall Creek Falls.
