We found out our furnace is about to die so our plans are getting bumped down a little. We're thinking of a long weekend trip to Nashville now!</p> <p>Mostly I just want to stay in a hotel, sleep in, and eat good food so I don't mind our beach vacation plans getting scrapped for now. Makes my worry wart husband feel even better that we'd be driving distance away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979647 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 22:50:28 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 1979647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning a trip to Phoenix. Spring is beautiful there, and there are some world class golf and spa resorts, perfect for relaxing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979609 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 22:07:04 +0000 jedeve 1979609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wanted to go to New Orleans but it did not happen. We went to a hot springs resort though which felt divine to just float when I was 35 weeks pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979408 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:20:16 +0000 78h2o 1979408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I told my husband I want to go on a babymoon to Old Town. I was there for a wedding in October, but didn't really get to explore. We only live 1.5-2 hrs away, so it would be an easy trip. NYC is fun too. We've taken the MegaBus there and had a great time. I've never left LO though, so I have to get up the courage before this baby arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979387 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 19:55:28 +0000 dc yoga bee 1979387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Key West on vacation, and I didn't like the beach at all! I'd suggest Ft. Lauderdale, DC suburbs (quaint towns like Old Town Alexandria are great to explore with great dining options), NYC &lt;--probably where we are going for a babymoon if I ever get over morning sickness. San Francisco is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979263 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 17:13:34 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1979263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Kauai for our baby moon! Loved it, and it was so relaxing and beautiful. I was 18 weeks, which felt perfect. Even went on an 8 mile roundtrip hike, and swam in a waterfall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979230 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 16:48:28 +0000 BSB 1979230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoping we get pregnant next year and maybe we'll be able to manage a Hawaii babymoon. Though, I was hoping next year would be our Europe trip, but not sure if that's going to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979196 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 16:30:48 +0000 petunia354 1979196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spent a few days in Miami and then drove a keep wrangler down to Key West. Such an amazing trip! And, where else is there a dessert restaurant called Better Than Sex?! Only in Key West! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979184 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 16:18:15 +0000 bunnylove08 1979184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we went to Disney LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979179 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 16:16:50 +0000 pui 1979179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Mexico for our babymoon (I'm in Canada). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979099 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:29:01 +0000 yoursilverlining 1979099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to NYC and had a blast. Obviously not a beachy babymoon though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979093 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:25:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1979093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: I just picked up every weekend between now and the end of December and I'm on service for most of January.</p> <p>I may be able to go to California for 48 hours at the end of January, but it will be solo. There's just no time!</p> <p>Our friends have offered to babysit the girls for free one night, so we're hoping to use a gift certificate and have a slow leisurely dinner.</p> <p>That would be enough for me. Hopefully my parents will be able to come and stay during the birth so we can be at the hospital together :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1979007 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 14:51:34 +0000 Tidybee 1979007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually did more like a TTC-moon after our losses. We went to the Ritz in Naples for a few days, and it was heaven. I could see it being a great babymoon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978986 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 14:42:07 +0000 shopaholic 1978986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Key West is really nice! We did Kauai, and absolutely loved it. Super relaxing and romantic. I used to work near Santa Monica, so my idea of it is probably somewhat skewed, but it can get pretty crowded, parking and driving is chaotic. So unless you stayed within walking distance of everything, a car and driving would be necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978982 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 14:41:34 +0000 78h2o 1978982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Monterey/Carmel, CA for our babymoon. It was beautiful! </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Could your parents or in-laws watch the kids for a weekend? Even if you didn't spend an extra dime, it would be nice to have some time to yourselves, if at all possible. I remember you saying you might pick up extra shifts though, so maybe that isn't an option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978971 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 14:37:15 +0000 ineebee 1978971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not going on a babymoon, but we went to Puerto Rico last year (no passport or currency exchange necessary! I didn't know that! Haha...) and it was like going to a different country without going to a different country. It was beautiful and fun and delicious, and we loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978942 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 14:23:46 +0000 MrsSCB 1978942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for Captiva or Sanibel in Florida -- gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978871 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:52:06 +0000 LindsayInNY 1978871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We looove Key West!! Yes, it's a drinking spot but I would totally go there pregnant!</p> <p>April in Florida would be fun if you're into baseball too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978867 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:51:12 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1978867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did Cancun once and Hawaii for #2. Nobabymoon for us this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978849 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:46:21 +0000 Meowkers 1978849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Maui for our babymoon. It was absolutely perfect. A great mix of activities and relaxation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978764 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:27:38 +0000 mrsjyw 1978764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Sanibel/captiva island for our babymoon! Would love to take Ds back there one day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978753 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:25:47 +0000 wheres_c 1978753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Key west is mostly drinking and not great beaches. I would suggest Miami, Santa Monica, Sanibel or San Diego </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978384 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:28:29 +0000 sapphire 1978384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We recently went to Kauai. I think Hawaii is still good because US hospitals, no insurance problems, etc.<br /> otherwise, Southern California would be nice. San Diego? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978380 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:27:28 +0000 LBee 1978380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't take one, but I LOVE Sanibel and Seaside (both in Florida). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978376 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:26:17 +0000 youboots 1978376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Cancun at 18 weeks for our anniversary/a wedding. It ended up being a babymoon. IMO you would be just fine in Mexico.</p> <p>Vegas is really nice that time of year. We went in May for my 30th and it was a little hot. No beach but it's cheap and the pools are gorgeous and there is tons to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978303 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 09:41:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 1978303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WE just went to Kansas City (close drive) but if we wanted something relaxing we would probably do Key West or San Francisco. If we were to go on one this time we would have chose NYC and Chicago if we were driving, pretty at Christmas (not really in a beach mood) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978294 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 09:37:18 +0000 lawbee11 1978294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to both Key West and Santa Monica. My vote is Key West. Great place to relax and so pretty, but there's also a lot to do like ride bikes, go to Duval St., the Hemingway house, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978284 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 09:33:47 +0000 Chillybear 1978284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gulf coast/ Clear water area of Florida is very nice that time of year and if you're baseball fans you might be able to catch some spring training games </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978282 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 09:33:21 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1978282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Portland Maine. It was absolutely beautiful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/us-babymoon-ideas#post-1978275 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 09:29:12 +0000 My Only Sunshine 1978275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok bees, hit me with your best babymoon ideas!</p> <p>My husband and I are TTC now and also simultaneously planning a trip for April. It'll be our first vacation without our toddler. So it may be just a fun vacation, or it may be a babymoon!</p> <p>My husband is a huge worry wart, so he'd feel better if we booked somewhere within the continental US in case I'm pregnant. That restriction leaves a lot of places available so it's OK with me.</p> <p>My goal will be to just relax. I'm thinking somewhere beachy, but also with things to do besides just lay out on the beach. We're thinking maybe Key West? Or Santa Monica? </p> <p>Did you take a babymoon? If you did, where did you go? </p>
