Take a trip to the Guggenheim in New York City, The Smithsonian Museum of Art in D.C. or the Louvre in Paris, without leaving your doorstep. Many word-class museums are now providing complimentary virtual museum tours.

After the tour, you might also be inspired to plan a weekend trip to the city to visit in person. Right now is the perfect time to book as rates are at an all-time low.

Or what about re-creating the experience from your first date night? Whatever theme you choose, consider making it extra-special by preparing the meal together, setting an elaborate table for two, creating a playlist of your favorite songs, and getting dressed like you are going out for a night on the town.
