The Babymoon

The Babymoon is the new "in thing" for first time expectant parents.  A last chance to get away for a couple days while it's still just the 2 of you and your life is turned upside down, in a good way of course.

So my husband and I attempted a babymoon to Niagra Falls last week.  We booked a nice hotel right on the falls with a great view and walking distance to everything and shuttle service, what more could we ask for.  Well air conditioning would be nice.  We arrived at the hotel which was jam packed so it must be a good place right?  Our room was good, even had a TV in the bathroom which I loved!  Floor to ceiling windows with a sitting area to enjoy the view of the falls.  We were hungry and luckily they had some nice expensive snacks, $5 for a mini can of pringles, basically $1 per pringle but i'm pregnant and I needed to eat!

With all that said I noticed that the room was kind of stuffy, the temperature said it was set at 60 degrees so shouldn't we be freezing right now?  Eventually when the sun went down the room cooled down a bit but not too much and at 7 months pregnant you already are hot like an oven on the coldest of days so I didn't have the best sleep.  The next morning the air flow had just stopped all together.  We got moved to another room that felt better but when we walked in the bed was clearly broken as well as the couch in the sitting area, didn't anyone else notice this?  So we moved again.  Nothing broken but the so called AC sounded like Niagra Falls itself, you could hear the water trickling through it.  Again 7 months pregnant with a weak bladder already, I don't need to hear water trickling all day and night.  But at this point it was this room or we were finding a new place to stay so we dealt with it.  For the troubles I got to go to the spa for a pedicure and we enjoyed a nice plate of chocolate covered strawberries.  Too bad the spa had no AC either, it's summer people turn the air on!

Well it turns out this hotel really doesn't have AC they are basically fans or "chillers" which really do nothing for cooling your room down.  Keeping the blinds closed help but then you don't get to enjoy the view of the falls that you are paying all that money for!  My poor husband felt so bad that it wasn't the babymoon he had planned but we had some good food, some quality time together and he proved to everyone how strong he was at a game outside a pavillion, sledge hammer something, amyway the guy who ran the game bragged he finally got to 98 after a lot of work, my husband hit 125 on his first shot - that's my man!
