Babymoon

 I had no freaking idea what a babymoon was till I got caught up with this pregnancy thing. They said, babymoon is mom and dad's last hurrah someplace fabulous before baby comes in. There's always the Carribean or Mexico or whereever. It depends on your budget actually. I just thought we need our "us" time when we still can have it, coz when Sophie and Emma are here, our lives will never be the same again. Ha!


Before I got pregnant, Kevin and I had been planning to go to Mexico this December-- to get outta winter cold. But when we found out we're having twins, we scrapped that plan. After all, we have major purchases coming up. We can't find cheap airfare anywhere in Canada either, so we decided to find someplace cheaper and closer. As Kevin said, just a "stay-cation", anyways we've been going places in the last 4 years. Ha, rationalization. :)

Booked the hotel online and called my in laws so they can babysit Stinker. Finally, I can use my bikinis.   Since I didn't have my professional photo with my baby bump-- I will take photo of myself in bikini! Something my mom would not want to see on Facebook haha.

I took some photos on our way, it was one gorgeous day. It was unusually sunny and no snow. We passed by some kids tobogganing. Ah to be young and happy.

After almost an hour of 100/kph drive, we reach our destination. 

I only booked for an overnight stay, and we got there quarter after 3pm. I want to make the most of our stay so after we got our keys, we went to our room and check it out. Here is Kevin checking out the channels. Yah, I married someone who's as "couch potato" as I am.

The room was pretty decent, big space too. This was the cheapest we could get. We wanted the Deluxe King but it was no longer available. But this wasn't that bad. 

Excitement made me so hungry that I wanted to eat buffet dinner at 3:30pm. While waiting for the buffet to open, we hit the casino for some slot machines and got lucky. We won! It paid for the dinner--- which was a good thing coz dinner was not that gastronomic!

The so- so prime rib buffet .. though I must admit I had 3 helpings . bwahaha.

Kevin wanted to play casino again but I told him we might not get lucky this time. Instead, we checked out the pool and found it empty. I hurriedly went to our room and donned my bikini.. 

Of course, I had a cover-up. Will not swim like a bloated frog, ya? This is just for my documentation purposes. 

With my nude tank top. My good friend Mona thought I was nekkid. :)

We felt like we own the place. :)

What pass as swimming for me is merely keeping afloat. It felt soo good swimming in a warm water while it was snowing outside. ^_^

Yes, it was an a-okay stay-cation!
