How To Be Romantic In Bay County
The hot summer season is winding down and fall is showing its first beautiful colors. The evenings are getting a little cooler and if quality time with your sweetheart has come a little short lately, then maybe take some time now, before the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Spending time together and showing your love does not have to be an expensive or opulent affair. With just a little thought and preparation, you might just create one of those unforgettable moments that will stay with you for the rest of your lifes.
Our romantic couple Kristie and Kristopher McLane are showing us here how it’s done… a classy picnic in a romantic setting, dress to impress your sweetheart, bring a bouquet of flowers, leave the phone in the car and dedicate your undivided attention to your significant other… and if this is not inspiration enough, we have listed four
more romantic things to do below…

Romantic Dinner for Two
“I love surprises – champagne and strawberries, all that pampering, romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.”
– Danica McKellar
Atmosphere is key for this couple at Saltwater Grill Restaurant in Panama City Beach. The 25,000 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium with its colorful tropical fish sets just the right mood for a romantic dinner for two. Paired with mouthwatering food, Saltwater Grill offers the perfect recipe for a romantic dinner. As the saying goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” and we will have to add: “With the right dessert, a woman’s heart will start melting”… and Saltwater Grill has just the right desert to do just that: Chocolate Lava Cake served warm with a melted chocolate center and homemade vanilla ice cream.
Wine Tasting With Live Music
