Lake Geneva, WI Helps Couples Find Romance!
Lake Geneva Helps Couples Find Romance
Recognizing that romance is a year round affair, Lake Geneva
helps
couples celebrate togetherness with its seasonal natural beauty, array
of lodging options, and year-round events, outdoor activities, shopping,
dining and entertainment. Whether newly dating, wedding planning or
celebrating, honeymooning, celebrating anniversaries, or simply
rekindling old flames, Lake Geneva makes a perfect destination for a romantic getaway.
Easily accessible from Chicago and Milwaukee, couples of all ages enjoy quality time to revel in one another's company. “Lake Geneva
accommodations
fit the tastes and budgets of all couples with luxury resorts and
hotels, boutique hotels, and cozy bed & breakfasts,” Darien
Schaefer, President, Lake Geneva Area Convention & Visitors Bureau
and Chamber of Commerce.
From hand-in-hand walks about the Geneva
Lake Shore Path, which offers couples views of some of the most
beautiful homes and landscaping in the Midwest, to horse-drawn carriage
rides, scenic boat tours and signature cruises; antiquing and shopping
the quaint downtown filled with one of a kind shops to wine tasting; and
pampering with wellness and spa treatments to candlelit dinners with
beautiful views, dinner theater and live music; couples show how much
they love and care for one another with ease. The area also offers
plenty of options for couples seeking more activity and adventure with
ice skating and skiing, 3-season golfing, parasailing and jet skiing,
zip lining, and hot air balloon rides.
Many couples plan their romantic getaways around events taking place throughout the year. Winter, spring, summer and fall, Lake Geneva’s
calendar of events includes Winterfest, an outdoor Summer Concert Series, the Annual Lake Geneva Venetian Festival, Annual Oktoberfest, and much more in between. Consider these tips from the Lake Geneva Area Convention & Visitors Bureau when planning your next romantic getaway.
1. Plan
ahead. Consider the best timing for you and your significant other and
don’t risk disappointment by going without reservations.
2. Review romance packages. Once
you’ve decided which resort, hotel or B&B to stay at, review its
romance package. Most offer at least one. Perhaps a bottle of chilled
champagne is waiting for you upon arrival to your room, a private dinner
for two, or a couple’s massage.
3. Try something new. Perhaps a horseback riding lesson or hot air balloon ride to create a new memory.
4. Plan a surprise. A love note or small gift to show how much this special time together means are thoughtful.
5. Awaken
all your senses. Let your romantic getaway be a celebration of all the
senses. Take in the pleasures of different sights and sounds, new foods,
and counterbalance all your activities and events with relaxation.
About Lake Geneva
Nestled
on the northeastern shores of Geneva Lake in southeast Wisconsin, Lake
Geneva has been a resort community since just after the Civil War when
wealthy Chicago families discovered the site and began building summer
homes there. Today, the elegant, often historic estates still ring the
lake and can be viewed from the water or by foot via the 21-mile walking
path that circles the lake.
Lake
Geneva boasts a wealth of dining options and lodging choices with the
latter ranging from luxury spa resorts to rustic inns to lovely
B&B’s. The area also offers pristine nature areas and a wealth of
attractions. For information on Lake Geneva, honored as one of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 2009 Dozen Distinctive Destinations, visit www.lakegenevawi.com

NEW INFOGRAPHIC: 1,968 Online Shoppers Reveal Their Ideal Body Size - And That Of The Opposite Sex
We found that the current size of men
lines up with what they believe to be ideal, whereas a majority of women
are a size 16, but wish they were a size 8. It’s not all bad news
though: We polled
genders about ideals for the opposite sex and the results were
heart-warming. Men think that a curvy, medium height woman is ideal
(tall and thin garnered 0% of the vote), while women found guys of a
medium height and an average build to be most attractive.
In the latest study from Tada.com on body happiness (http://www.tada.com/blog/infographic-1968-respondents-reveal-ideal-body-size-opposite-sex
we made some interesting discoveries: Men don’t actually believe that
models have the ideal body shape, while women don’t seem to like overly
muscular men.
The
survey also found that 57% of online buyers are somewhat satisfied with
what they see in the mirror, with small percentages being totally
satisfied or totally unsatisfied with their physical
appearance. Not surprisingly, 33% of these shoppers are also hoping to
lose more than 20 pounds to be at their ideal weight, lining up with the
weight loss necessary to bring the average size 16 woman down to a size
8. So while women have loftier goals in
terms of the perfect body size, they also know how much it would take
to get there.
