Today, D and I started talking about what we wanted to do for a honeymoon. Originally, we both liked the idea of going to some big amusement park. I'm dying to check out the new Harry Potter area in Islands of Adventure, and we both love roller coasters. With recent developments, however, we've hit an obvious snag. I can't go on any of the rides! I'm going to be nearly 3rd trimester by the time we're married, so there's no way I could get away with riding roller coasters on our honeymoon. What are we to do?
I threw out the idea first that we could just chill at a beach resort. There'd be lots of pool swimming, calling in room service, and just chilling. It didn't seem quite as exciting to us though, plus I worried D would be entirely too bored just laying around on the beach. We might as well look into lazing about at a local hotel with a pool.
We've started looking at Sea World. It has rides I would be missing out on, but the majority of it is shows and a marine zoo. Still not as exciting as Islands of Adventure, but it's more interesting than just a beach resort. It's still expensive, but any Orlando trip really is. I think it's important that we get our honeymoon in before the baby comes, but it's just as important that we both have a good time.
I'm open to suggestions at this point. Sea World is fun (I went once in high school), but I worry it may not be the dream honeymoon we wanted. What to do...
For our honeymoon, Nathan and I are going to a cabin up in the mountains of Western NC near Bryson City. It has a hot tub and an awesome view and there's a lot of stuff to do in the area (Hiking, waterfalls, swimming at lake Fontana or exploring those scenic small mountain towns). Or we could just stay in the cabin and engage in those certain post-marital activities.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted something close (A 3-4 hour drive from Charlotte), totally non stressful where we could just zen out, relax and be with each other without having to deal with crowds or the public or stressing about about seeing this and that. And it's cheap. It's only costing me $360 for 2 nights and that's in the summer.
It would be even cheaper in the fall and there are some cozy cabins that have fireplaces. (www.carolinamountainvacations.com)
SeaWorld would be fun but a lot of walking around for someone so pregnant. Would you be able to truly enjoy something like that if you felt too tired? True there is a lot of sitting during the shows though. I would feel bad if I spent too much money going there and couldn't properly enjoy it.
If you're going to the beach, Charleston might be fun. It's a cool historic city that has beach stuff and sight seeing stuff depending on what you're in the mood for. I love Charleston.
Wow, this was a long comment. Hope it was helpful.
