B is for Babymoon

What is a babymoon?

A baby moon is a relatively new trend, similar to a honeymoon where a couple takes a trip to enjoy some time together before a new baby join their family. This idea is catching on fast, and of course! Why not? A fun trip to take care of yourself before you’re taking care of someone else sounds not only logical, but healthy!

As far as where to go and what to do, the limit does not exist! We have compiled a list of the five most ideal places in the Northeast to inspire some ideas for your perfect babymoon! Here goes nothing…

1) Hampton Beach, New Hampshire
Take a stroll on the boardwalk, say hello to the sea and don’t forget that lobster is one of the seafood you cannot eat too much of during pregnancy. A drive into the neighboring towns can hold a lot of fun as well! Take a drive into Newburyport, Massachusetts for a walk in a cute little colonial town, or up to the Kittery outlet in Maine to score some deals on outfits for the new baby.

2) New York City, New York
Start spreading the news, this city has so much to offer personalities of all kinds. Go to the top of the empire state building, see the statue of liberty, catch a Broadway show or walk through central park. This destination is relatively close and an easy train ride away! Pro-tip: Pack comfortable shoes!

3) Newport, Rhode Island
Take a beautiful stroll on the cliff walk, visit the famous mansions and have a few beach days. Don’t forget to indulge in some New England clam chowder and grab a cute onesie from one of the many shops on Thames Street.

4) Boston, Massachusetts
Love the city life, but find New York a bit too intimidating? Try Boston! From the aquarium to the museum of fine arts, there is something for everyone. Grab lunch at Fire and Ice which will be sure to please any pregnant palate, and don’t forget to grab a delicious cannoli in the North End!

5) Waterbury, Vermont
Many ski resorts remain open for the summer, which could mean a cheaper stay going in the off season. There is surprisingly so much to do in this area. For the foodies: tour the Ben and Jerry’s and Cabot cheese factory, and don’t forget that you can take two samples! For the adventurers, enjoy fishing, hiking, kayaking and paddle boarding. For the sentimentals, take a stop in the teddy bear factor and make your baby’s first lovie together. And if you’re wanting for some beautiful scenery, take the trek up to Lake Champlain.
