Tahoe is also great in late spring, and you can stay really cheap at the casinos or by renting out a cabin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-babymoon#post-749595 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 00:32:14 +0000 lemondrop 749595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a day trip to Morro Bay, Cambria, and Moonstone Beach once, it was beautiful! We even got to see sea otters just off the big rock at Morro Bay. I'd love to do that trip again, so romantic and relaxing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-babymoon#post-749590 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 00:19:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 749590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: what about half moon bay or santa barbara?</p> <p>i also love the monterey and carmel area, so that definitely has my vote! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-babymoon#post-749587 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 00:17:40 +0000 MrsCastro 749587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: I just bought a living social deal for Lake Tahoe. We will be spending 5 says 4 night, for $200. At Base Camp hotel. We are celebrating our 3 year anniversary and a very early baby moon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-babymoon#post-749584 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 23:44:29 +0000 marionberry 749584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's too far but if we can afford it we're planning on baby mooning in Orange County. I loved it there the one time I visited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-babymoon#post-749580 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 23:36:12 +0000 MaisyMay 749580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stayed at the Anton Inn in Pacific Grove, really liked it. Also, the Dulce Hayes Mansion is lovely. There are a lot of great hotels in San Jose that are relatively inexpensive. Some Saturday nights the Fairmont is less than $100, which is amazing. If you do Napa area, ride the Wine Train. We've done it twice and loved it both times, didn't drink either time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-babymoon#post-749567 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:45:54 +0000 deerylou 749567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: DH works near Monterey, so we're definitely looking into it. My parents were married in Carmel, and I've always loved the town. </p> <p>I am automatically drawn to wine country, but I don't think I would have too much fun there, pregnant. Too much amazing wine to be tempted by! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-babymoon#post-749564 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:42:29 +0000 shopaholic 749564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't baby moon there but we did spend the weekend in Monterey a few years ago. It was so nice and relaxing... I've been wanting to do that again! There's also Carmel, Hearst Cstle. I've also been wanting to check out mill valley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/california-babymoon#post-749553 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:31:37 +0000 deerylou 749553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I weren't initially planning on a babymoon. We've been pretty persistent about saving up for our impending hospital deductible (don't even get me started), and preparing for the prospect of me going part-time at work, post-baby.</p> <p>However, we would love to at least take a long weekend, and just spend some quality time together before baby arrives, early July.</p> <p>We live on the Central Coast in Northern California, and would like to do something in the semi nearby area within the next month, or so. Did anyone here honeymoon or babymoon in northern or central California, and have any recommendations? We're looking to keep it relatively simple, and affordable, so an $800 a night suite is not going to be in our budget. </p> <p>Thanks, in advance! </p>
