What’s a babymoon?!
I never realised that babymoons were a thing, until I was pregnant with my first baby. Have you heard of babymoons before?
A babymoon is a last romantic trip together, before your baby comes along. Usually couples go in the second trimester when you are feeling more energetic. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the two of you as a couple. You could go abroad, or have a staycation. A babymoon is all about having some quality time together – before the new chapter of your lives begins!
Our babymoon
I read about ‘babymoons’ and decided going away with The Hubster before our first baby came along would be a lovely idea! A chance to relax and make some precious memories together. A chance to be just us – before the equally precious baby days came long!
We were living in California at the time, so decided to travel just a short way down the coast to Carmel. We stayed at Clint Eastwood’s ranch – movie fans might like to know – which was wonderful. Sadly we didn’t catch a glimpse of the man himself, but we enjoyed ourselves none the less! I remember having such a lovely few days – walking on the beach, holding hands whilst talking about baby names, soaking up the sun, spotting seals, plus visiting the incredible aquarium in Monterey. I think this photo of me and The Hubster in a giant clam is one of my favourite photos of us ever! 😉
