Babymoon


Babymoon

For those of you that don't know, a "Babymoon" is the trendy new thing that couples should do before their lives are turned upside down by the addition of their first child.  It is typically supposed to be a romantic, private get away that highlights the freedom of still being a child-free couple.  Our OB-Gyn was insistent that we make sure to schedule a trip.  

The challenge with scheduling a fancy trip while a baby is on the way is that we have been trying to save money in preparation for this major change in our lives.  Heath and I therefore decided to keep our trip simple and ended up spending a long weekend in the mountains of North Carolina.  

We stayed in a beautiful home on Lake Santeetlah over Halloween weekend.  We got to experience an early season snowfall, making for a very beautiful mix of leaves changing colors with a dusting of snow.

Off on a beautiful hike...

There was a crazy number of kayakers out on these rapids this very cold day!








We celebrated "us" with a 4 course delicious meal at Snowbird lodge.  Heath got to treat himself to some Rip Van Winkle which he absolutely loved and made me quite jealous that I couldn't partake. 




The Final morning was a gorgeous one
