The End of an Era

Babymoon? What is that and how do I get one?!

This is what I've been thinking over the last few months as I perused other soon-to-be mommy blogs.

According to the ever-so-smart Wikipedia, a babymoon means "a vacation taken by a couple that is expecting a baby in order to allow the couple to enjoy a final trip together before the many sleepless nights..."

Yeah, I quit reading right there. I don't wanna hear about my inevitable loss of sleep before I have to.

Anyway, a drive from duty post to duty post isn't exactly the destination Mama had in mind. Because the Captain and I have completely depleted our bank account with this move, I knew the idea of our Babymoon was more like a pipe dream.

Then, I remembered Captain J and Mrs. K have fun wherever we go.

So, the babymoon is booked.

We're headed to the next (bigger) town over next weekend to enjoy a little of this-

or a lot of that! J and I have tickets for the double showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1&2 and we're super pumped. We had a big time in Alaska at the last premier and plan to make the most of this monumental event. Go ahead, laugh if you must. I can't even take your laughter seriously, though if you haven't read the books. You can't call yourself a literary lover if you haven't given them a try. Yeah, I went there.

(Do you even want to be a "literary lover"? I just made that up.)

I'm going off on a tangent now. Forgive me.

Anyway, I'm happy with our short trip down the road and a night in a hotel room (because those have become my home away from home). Baby K just doesn't know how cool (read: dorky, fun, or exciting) his parents are. Bless his heart.

Who else is excited?
