Babymoon

We spent a wonderful two days and one night this weekend at the Longboat Key Hilton. The idea was to just "get away" one last time before the arrival of Baby AnnahLilly.

The weather on Sunday wasn't so cooperative; it rained pretty much the entire day. But it wasn't a complete loss. We took some baby bump pictures on the beach. Then napped with the balcony doors open; the sounds of the birds, Gulf water and rain rocked us to sleep for a few hours.

For dinner, we splurged for a wonderful experience at Euphemia Haye. It's one of the most respected restaurants in our area. The setting is actually an old home, and the food is great. We just loved it.

We woke up Monday morning to partly cloudy skies, so we hit the beach for a short while, then took a dip in the pool; the Gulf was just a bit too nippy. After that, we took off around 2 to make it to an OB appointment.

A hearty thanks go out to Jennifer Bartolone. She's the associate director of sales at the Hilton, and also the wife of one of our co-workers. She rigged us up with a great rate, that Gulf-view room and a pair of complementary desserts (key lime pie and chocolate souffle). So go stay there; it's great. And say hi to Jen.

Oh, almost forgot to mention. Jen slept through the night for the first time in three months. Now that's a relaxing babymoon!
