babymoon anyone?

[Novembermommy1104]

Just curious if any of you ladies will be taking a baby moon? This time last year my husband and I were packing for a 3week Hawaii stay. We will definitely not be able to afford that again this year but I live in Oregon and I was thinking maybe a nice 4 hour drive down hwy101 into California's coastal cities for a weekend would be fun.  So my question is when's a good time to go-week wise (I'm almost 21weeks) and is 4-5 hours too long in the car?  Tell me what your doing??

Next weekend the hubby and I are sending our 3 kiddos to the grandparents and we are going on a camping trip with a good friend for four days :) the drive is about 2 and a half hours and I'll be 30wks.. I'm soo excited to jus get away from everything and relax!.. Buut, I'm the nervous type and already googled to map out the nearest hospital just in case lol

We're going to canada for 2 weeks when I am 20 weeks. We decided to go north cuz it would be cooler than where we live. Make sure you drink a lot of water :)

I had a babymoon in Greece in my 28 weeks for 2 weeks. We did a roadtrip around the north and visited many cities. We drove for hours and walked a lot and it was fine. I even came back home feeling better..

It is a windy drive I know! But there's something about where the redwoods and the ocean are just minutes apart that I love ;)  if we do end up going it will be around my 25week mark. And our 2 dogs will also be with us so frequent stops are a must and luckily I drive a Honda pilot SUV tgsts very roomy :) everyone have fun and be safe on your trips!

We are going to the eastern Sierra in a few weeks. I''ll be 16 weeks.it is a 5 or 6 hour drive, bringing the dog to, so we will take breaks on the drive.

I think doing the NorCal coast sounds great. It's just really twisty and can be a dangerous drive. And spotty cell reception.
Just make sure you know the closet hospital

I went away for a couple of nights when i was 30 weeks! It was a 7 hour drive! I just found it a little uncomfortable we stopped about 3/4 times to pee and stretch :)

I think go for it. Take stops to stretch of need be.
