Greg Tilley's Repos - New Homes

If your schedules and other commitments keep you and your main squeeze from leaving town for a romantic trip, why not journey to the Fairfield Bed and Breakfast? The two of you will be pampered by the king size European beds, fireplaces and whirlpool tubs - elements that make it easy to lose the week's stress and allow the two of you to get close without any interruptions. Fairfield's two adjoining homes were built around 1870 and feature a 1-acre green garden oasis, a perfect venue for you and your honey to take a walk through after you arrive in the evening or just before breakfast in the morning.

Every spring, you'll find locals and visitors looking up to the skies because that's where all the action is during the Barksdale Air Show. Vintage aircraft is on display and in the air, and often the personnel who commandeer the planes are available for questions and photo ops with spectators. It's a supersonic time for the whole family!

If taking a break from your usual scene and expanding your world view sounds like fun, then check out the various collections of art on display at the Meadows Museum of Art. The museum's holdings include pieces that date back to the 1800s as well as pieces by American Impressionist Alfred Maurer, German Expressionist George Grosz, and Texas Regionalist Don Brown. It's a visually captivating trip that's sure to invigorate your senses.

Going on a safari is an adventure all within itself, but getting to interact with the animals you see takes the whole safari idea to a higher level. And that's exactly the level you'll be on when you visit Shreveport's Jubilee Zoo. That safari, by the way, reflects Louisiana flavor as it performs double duty as a hayride! There's also a petting zoo, a moonwalk, picnic areas and carousel ponies, just to mention a few of the fun attractions you'll experience on this all-day adventure. All of nature's wildlife is within your reach, and when it is all gathered together in such an accessible, engaging place like the Jubilee Zoo, you'll want the celebration to continue for as long as possible.
