Babymoon

Even before Quinn was a reality, I told my husband that this year, I wanted to take a week-long vacation, just the two of us. Since our honeymoon 4 years ago, we have not done that. We have done a lot of traveling, but it's always been with others or to visit others. We have enjoyed all of our travels, but with Quinn on the way, I thought it was even more important to have a "babymoon" before he arrives. Hurricane Irene threatened to put a damper on our plans, but she only cost us a day in the hotel (everything in Boston was closed on Sunday, including the "T," their subway system). We had a wonderful time in Boston, Newport, and Cape Cod. Our favorite part of the trip was in Cape Cod, where we stayed at a wonderful B&B, The Acworth Inn, biked about 20 miles to/from the beach on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and swam in the ocean. I got knocked over by a wave and decided that was enough for me and Quinn, but Hubby had a great time swimming with the seals! I've seen dolphins at the beach before, but never seals. We also visited the Heritage Museum and Gardens, and played 36 holes of putt putt all in one day! We were tired, but happy.

We saw many sights in Boston, and toured three mansions in Newport. It was a wonderful vacation. You can browse our pics on facebook.

If you look closely, you can see two seal heads in the center of the picture, to the left of Hubby's head.
