Babymoon!!

I've been waiting to go on our Babymoon basically since we got married. I knew we wanted to wait 5 years to start trying for kids but every day of these past 5 years I have been longing for this time with all of my heart. Preparing away. So the time is finally here praise God and we did a 5 day getaway to Panama City Beach where we haven't' been back to since our honeymoon. We plan on taking our kids back here when the oldest is 6 and the youngest is 4 and we will bring Lucy!!

I always dreamed of going on our Babymoon in early 2nd trimester and for Christmas break and that's exactly what we did. The weather was beyond amazing staying above 75-80 degrees during the day and above 65 at night. We got to relax and just enjoy time together on the beach. We spent 90% of the time on the beach. The water was too cold to get all the way in but we got in to our waist! It only stormed on us for 15 minutes one of the days. 

We started the trip on Sunday stopping in Dothan Alabama to split the trip in half. The next morning we got up early and left for PCB. We arrived at noon and walked the pier, board walk, and ate at Margarittaville. There was hardly any crowd at all in the whole city and we got a parking spot right near the pier entrance, only had to wait 10 minutes to eat and the beach was empty!

 

My virgin pina colada so good!

 

 

Where my finger is pointing is the condo building we stayed at, 20th floor.

Mom and Dad!!

 

 

 

The views from our room were exquisite! We had a balcony right to the beach/ocean from our room and living room! Taking a nap listening to the waves was incredible. We spent most of the early mornings and evenings on that balcany!

 

The view on the backside of the building.

I got color changing nail polish and color changing toe ring and earrings from Del Sol! So amazing!!

One of the nights we ate at Saltwater Grill and it was absolutely amazing!!

The storm rolling in!

I'm so proud of my little bump :).

 

Sunrises were breathtaking! 

We stayed from 5:30am-5:30pm every day on the beach maximizing our daylight!

 

And the sunsets!!

We drove home Thursday morning after checking out at 9am and couldn't wait to see our sweet Lucy! My sweet mama watched Lucy for the week for us and Lucy was in heaven spending time with Grandma! We plan on taking our second baby babymoon to the Biltmore November 2023.

I always pictured going to Hawaii for our babymoon but it is expensive, I don't feel comfortable traveling on a plane that long and being that far from my doctor plus covid with pregnancy so we will save that trip for just the two of us for our 10 year wedding anniversary in 4.5 years.

With so much love,

Kayla and Cody Raborn
