When we first found out we were expecting, we started perusing all sorts of literature about what to expect, what to buy, and on and on. One suggested new parents-to-be take a babymoon. At first I thought that was a bit hoity-toity, but as my fall break from school got closer and closer I began to see the wisdom in such an idea. Sam and I packed our bags and hopped on a plane to New York City. We didn't really want to stay in the city though, so we rented a car and drove up to Boston. We really enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and changing leaves. We also visited several historic sites, went to the temple in Boston, saw a show on Broadway, and even visited two Sleepy Hollow Cemeteries. One is in Concord, MA (my favorite of all the places we went). Concord was the home of Louisa May Alcott (another one of my favorites), Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. It was also very close to the first battlefield of the American Revolution. I think I might want to live in Concord one day. We really did have a great time, and I was reminded of how much I love to travel with my husband. It was a great trip...and now we can get down to business and start choosing a crib and nursery colors and all sorts of fun stuff. Sam can't wait!
