Babymoon

Well, we've been back from paradise for a week now. My tan is fading, my skin is peeling, and I have long since settled back into the real world. But oh how glorious those four days of sunshine and living on island time were... 

I took a day off from work that Friday for the first time all school year, a reward all on it's own. We woke up long before the first rays of sunlight to head to the airport. Getting up that early when you don't have to go to work is  only acceptable if you are on your way to a fab destination! 

Once we arrived, Antigua did not disappoint. Our house was absolutely amazing! Way too big for just Mason and me (and Baby G), but no complaints here.

Antigua has very little to do and is not really that touristy. It does, however, have 365 gorgeous beaches to explore and since we had no pre-set agenda to follow, we immersed ourselves into  island life and picked a different beach to post up at each day and a delicious restaurant to dine at each night.

Baring all to catch a tan on this baby belly. It ended up getting pretty burnt. I guess because it was closer to the sun than the rest of my body! ;)

One of these drinks has alcohol. One does not.

Dinner at Sheer Rocks! Delicious, except for the millions of bugs that would sometimes land in our food!

A late Sunday lunch at Jacqui O's - mommy's favorite spot! Where she maybe... just might have... perhaps indulged in a teeny little glass of champagne! ;)

We got a lot of sun, read a lot of books and even learned how to drive on the opposite side of the road! It was a great adventure and the perfect last trip together before we fully commit ourselves to parenthood!

Bye bye Antigua! Until next time...

To our baby girl, next time we travel back to  Antigua we hope to bring you along with us! We can't wait to show you the world!  

To my fabulous husband, thank you for planning such an amazing Babymoon trip for us to enjoy! You are the very best! 

And now... let the final weeks of baby preparation begin, we are oh so ready for our sweet girl to make her arrival! And mommy is ready to enjoy something other than a bottle of water whilst sun bathing... :)
