Get thee to a food truck. More specifically, get thee to a trailer food truck! This one, in particular, was at Garner State Park, but Texas is a breeding ground for some fantastic food artisans, and anything they can make with love can automatically mean true love when you share it with your guy/gal!

3. Take a Cruise

Take your love on a cruise! You don’t have to leave Texas, nor do you have to book two weeks’ vacation. You can take a cruise at the River Walk in San Antonio, enjoying the evening air, the lights, and perhaps a toast afterward to a happy Valentine’s Day.

4. Go Stargazing

Take your Texas love out for a night of stargazing! Nothing could be bigger and more beautiful, like their eyes gazing at you filled with love, than the stars in a Texas night sky on Valentine’s Day (weather permitting, of course.)

5. Food. Period. Anything Texas-Shaped Will Do.

Never mind just getting the love of your life something to eat on Valentine’s Day. Knock their socks off by getting them something to eat which is shaped like the place you both know and love…Texas! Many foods can come in the shape of our state (somehow…if you cut it that way perhaps) and waffles are no exception to the rule. Enjoy your sweet, delicious love over a plate of sweet, delicious Texas-shaped waffles!
