Babymoon

Babymoon.  Who thinks this stuff up?  Well, whoever it was, we totally bought into it! 

So what is a babymoon?  It's supposedly a get-away for the parents-to-be to reconnect and have one last hooray before their duo becomes a trio.  Typically the weekend is spent relaxing and enjoying each other's company.  While we are in total agreement that couple time is important, we are also masters of multi-tasking.  So we had the most unconventional Babymoon one could imagine. 

We spent the weekend in San Francisco, which is only about 35 miles from our home.  My brother lives in the city and is in total apartment makeover mode.  And he needed our help.  Saturday (Day 1 of Babymoon) was spent in the Marina district working on Operation Love Den. Check out our other blog to learn more about that. 

Saturday night we met our friends the Kopeck's and our nephew Mike, who also lives in SF, for a night on the the town. First we had drinks, dinner and wine brought from our stash at Globe which was conveniently located a few blocks from our hotel.  After our indulgent dinner, we headed to the Bubble Lounge for a nightcap.  Now, if any of you know this crew, there is no such thing as ONE drink...it's always a marathon...  As an almost 9 1/2 month pregnant gal surrounded by girls in mini dresses looking like they stepped off the runway, I felt a little awkward.  And, I definitely got some funny stares.  Hey, whatever, I'm a trooper!  Our cocktail waitress even brought me a plate of strawberries and dipping chocolate. I'm pretty sure it was sympathy food for having to skip all the drinking fun but very thoughtful.  Several Remy VSOP's and Crown Royale with pineapple back shots later (translation, at least two more hours of drinking) we stumbled out of the bar.  I too was stumbling from exhaustion and a certain husband who was leaning on me to walk a straight-ish line.  As always, another fun night in the city with our friends. 

Sunday Brian and I spent the morning and afternoon walking around the Embarcadero soaking up the sunshine and enjoying some duo before trio time.  A perfect end to a perfect weekend!

Recap: it was the best Babymoon, ever!

Here are some pictures that show the AMAZING view we had from our hotel room of Coit Tower and the Transamerica building and some fun shots from our walk out to one of the piers.
