We decided to have a little babymoon this weekend. For those of you that don't know a babymoon is time away together before the baby arrives. Like a honeymoon before baby. We had talked about getting away many times but we couldn't find a weekend that worked for both of us. So like any couple awaiting the arrival of there first baby, we waited til the last minute. Yes, the weekend before the baby is due!
As a result, we couldn't travel far for fear that Carmella would make her grand entrance and we would be hours from the hospital. So we decided to get away to Santana Row. Sounds a little crazy traveling 10 minutes away just to get away but truthfully it was the best decision for us. We snuck away Friday afternoon and checked in early to our hotel. We stayed at the Hotel Valencia and it was perfect. I have stayed her two other times for my bachlorette party and a friends bachelorette party. It truly feels like you're in a little oasis away from home.
We thought it would be great to get a balcony room so we could do some people watching along the row.
We decided to catch a movie, since we know once baby comes that will be a foreign word to us. It was perfect because Moneyball was playing down the street. So we headed to the movie theater and filled up on some popcorn and enjoyed the flick together. Then we headed back to the room and while Chris took a little nap I sat on our balcony and read a book. I guess you could say the theme of the weekend was to do all the things we won't be able to do when Carmella gets her.
Next up a nice dinner for two at Amber India (secretly hoping the spicy food would convince the baby to come out). We even walked along the row holding hands and window shopping. As we were window shopping we caught a glimpse of Bobby Flay as he was signing books at Sur La Table. So we stalked the store and tried to steal a picture of him. Sorry I don't have any pictures to post it was too hard to capture him.
After a tasty breakfast the next morning we took a stroll to the pool where we laid around and relaxed for a bit. Ahh reading a book in the sun and just relaxing, soaking it all up now. Finally, we walked along the row and then headed into Valley Fair Mall. Who doesn't love that mall? We were researching video camera's and diaper bags. And we left with a new PPB diaper bag, I guess you could say I was a happy new mommy!!!
It was a great babymoon and who knows we will probably be back for some mommy and daddy alone time........... well in a few months at least.
