June 2014 Moms

Anyone thinking about/saving for a "babymoon" yet?

DH and I have wanted to go back to Jamaica before having children, so we're thinking April. 

I'll also be vacationing with my mother to Europe in December. 

Anyone else planning some awesome vacations before baby?

  • We're looking at somewhere in the Caribbean for Jan/Feb. A little escape when it's cold here :)

  • We're taking a trip to Sanibel, but DD is coming with us. Does that count? Bringing Grammie too for babysitting!

  • When I was pregnant with my first, we went to the Cook Islands at 20 weeks. I felt great and it was a relaxing get away! This time around we are thinking the US Virgin Islands or FL in March with our daughter. 3 tickets are a lot more expensive than 2 these days so we are going to use miles.

     

  • Nope, we have 3 little ones already that I don't think I could leave for long.

  • I don't think we are going on one.  We are saving up for a house instead!  We are going to St. Thomas in December with DH's company for their company Christmas party though!

  • Saving to build a house, but we did plan a mini get away to New Orleans this weekend (planned before we knew I was preggo) so we will make this our vacation. Maybe another mini before I deliver...we shall see :)

  • We will do something, but likely not involving flying somewhere. We have a ton of local options for a weekend getaway, that's what we did last time too and it was wonderful.

  • we haven't discussed it but I would love to do something!
  • We're going to Florida for a week at the end of February (whole fam, not just me and DH) but we were planning on that before I got KU.

    When I was pg with DS, DH and I went on a carribbean cruise and it was a great trip.

  • How the heck do you all afford these glamorous "baby moons"? We go on a vacation to Jamaica every year, but this year we won't be able to!  We have to furnish a nursery and pay for the delivery of this little one.  So jealous of all of the trips!

    We took a pre-TTC trip the first week in September to Ireland. It was fantastic. I wanted to go before I got KU so I could drink and fully enjoy it. :)

    I don't think we'll be taking a real "babymoon" - Maybe just a weekend getaway.

    We did, too! We did Ireland in early August and it was absolutely fantastic. So glad we did it all before I got pg the cycle after!

    As far as another babymoon, we are thinking just a long weekend somewhere nearby this spring. Maybe Maine :)

  • We did a pre TTC trip to Italy in July, and we're going to Hawaii in 3 weeks for our anniversary.  Knowing my husband, we'll probably go on another vacation in the spring, but it will probably have to be within driving distance.
  • We are thinking either Belize or Hawaii in Jan/Feb.  It will all depend on if I do another semester at school and if we get our annual Christmas bonus.  Also I have to keep in mind since my DH family lives a 4 hour flight away, that we will have to visit them in the summer.  I hate the fact that the two of us can go to Hawaii for the same price as one ticket back to Ontario.

    Jealous that you have gotten to go to Jamaica every year :D

    We will not be going on a babymoon. By the time both DH and I's schedules would allow it...I would no longer be able to travel due to having a newborn. Lol.

  • We're planning on taking DD to Disneyworld in March or April so that will be our babymoon/familymoon before #2 arrives :-) We went there for our honeymoon and DD has never been but loves Mickey, I think it will be the perfect family trip before we expand.

    Anniversary
  • Before we got our BFP we booked a trip to Chicago for mid December. . We usually go to NYC in December, but I wanted something different. I'm so excited for Christmas decorations, lights and The Nutcracker. After LO is born we will be going to Europe for LO to meet DH's family. DH needs to save his vacation time. :)

    I'm with ya! DH is a teacher and I'm a Social Worker...so we vacation accordingly...lol. We do have a trip planned to Breckenridge this winter, but we planned that before I knew I was pregs. So if everyone can post pictures of their fun vacations....that would be great. :)
  • We were thinking Hawaii in March. That way it's a babymoon and an anniversary trip all in one! I am more excited for that now because I can talk about it so anytime I really want to let something slide about being preggers I talk about Hawaii and put all my excitement into that!
  • Married in Sept and didn't honeymoon because we purchased a new home. We are taking a honey/baby moon this winter! Somewhere tropical where I can park my prego butt and read!
  • We went to Europe last June so probably won't get to with me being a teacher and this one due in June. I can't take off work. We are doing a mini vacation during Christmas break with the kids though.
  • We're going to San Diego at the end of February. It'll be a nice retreat from the Iowa winter weather!
  • I'm suppose to go to Vegas, in march I am wondering how much fun that's going to be? But my hubs keeps reassuring me that it will be
  • Hoping for Hawaii, I grew up there and have always dreamt of sitting and being in some of my favorite spots and waters while preggers. We were also married out there, so I can't imagine anything more meaningful for us. If we can't make that happen, a weekend getaway to La Jolla or maybe Dana Point or Laguna to try something new.
