The Babymoon. I don’t know who thought of this idea, but I kind of heart whoever it was. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a “babymoon” is much like a “honeymoon” in that it’s a romantic getaway for you and your hubby. But this time it has some added excitement…. because this time it’s the last trip the two of you will take as just a twosome! Even if you take later vacations where just the two of you go, this is the last time when only two of you are actually in existence. Crazy.
Jake and I took our babymoon to St. Croix last week, and it was fantabulous. We went to awesome weddings on either end of the vacay, so it was like a fun vacation sandwich. We vegged out on the beach, swam in the soothing waves, visited the spa, went for long walks around the golf course, ordered room service every night, and I read 3 books in the course of 4 days (“Hero of the Underground” – Loved it. Kind of a mix between “Friday Night Lights” and “A Million Little Pieces“, “Belly Laughs” -Actually, kinda disappointing. Not as funny as I’d hoped, and “The Audacity of Hope” – Jury’s still out. I’m a novel kind of girl).
Our motto for the trip was: “it’s a good thing we like each other so much,” because we for real had almost the entire island to ourselves. AND we got upgraded to a huge glorious beachfront suite. We could almost jump into the waves from our balcony. And just in case you don’t hate us enough yet… did I mention it was also 100% free?! Yeah, we won the whole she-bang for winning a “wedding dance-off” on the Rachael Ray show last Valentine’s Day. Who’da thunk that by the same time a year later we’ll have added a new “tiny dancer” into the mix. Awww…
So how ’bout you… did you and your baby daddy take a babymoon? Tell us about it!…
