In case you are looking for some ideas for your own babymoon, here's a rundown of what we did. We strolled through the Old Market, attempted to go to the Greek festival on the Riverfront, took in the free outdoor tunes at Village Point Mall & toured Lauritzen Gardens. Who knew Macchu Picchu was both in Peru AND Omaha?
Good food, eaten slowly, & amid pleasant conversation none-the-less was enjoyed at Cheesecake Factory, Johnny's Cafe, & Wheatfields. Sunday morning Mass was at the beautiful St. Cecilia's Cathedral. It's just so much easier to pray when you feel inspired by the gorgeous architecture & the swell of a pipe organ well-played. (Oh yeah, & not having two goofy kiddos to wrestle.) We finished off the adventure with a matinee showing of G.I. Joe. The baby was not a big fan . . . crazy loud & constant action make for a tense Mommy. I think that Sprinkle has forgiven me already, though. : )
Overall, it was just fun to be together & realize we still know how to talk to each other without the kiddos in-tow. It's crazy to imagine our newest little one will be here in 6 weeks or so . . . impossible to imagine without my best friend at my side. Thank you for a wonderful weekend, Darren!
***I just noticed that unfortunately none of our pictures included . . . us! Oh, well. There is a half cut-off picture of us on the tram at the Gardens & one of me going down the slides that is the epitome of unflattering. If you're in need of a really good laugh, let me know & I may share it with you . . . it had me crying through my giggles . . . but there's no way I'm putting it here for all to see!***
