Babymoon: A Photo Journal

We have returned to the arctic tundra known as Chicago from our glorious babymoon. We had a lovely time and hope to go back to Naples some day. We had great weather, great food, a surprisingly huge hotel room and a pool to ourselves everyday! It was fab!

A last minute change of plans forced us to drive across the Florida peninsula from Ft. Lauderale Airport to Naples via the desolate highway 75, A.K.A. "Alligator Alley." Little did we know, the journey would be one of the highlights of the trip!


Things got off to a great start when Mark splurged on a convertible to indulge me. It made our trip across Alligator Alley a real adventure. Plus, a white Sebring....how FL is that?


At night we saw stars...how romantic!
And there was a fire pit at the hotel to keep us toasty warm after the sun went down.
There were always lots of hot bodies on the beach

But we tended to hang out by the pool. This is the lap pool at the hotel which was basically right outside our room. I guess everyone else preferred the main pool, so we pretty much had this one all to ourselves, which was perfectly fine with us! It takes a lot of guts to rock a bikini in the seventh month of pregnancy...but not so much if no one's looking.MAIN POOL...




Every night around 6pm we saw a spectacular sunset! It is quite the thing to do in Naples!
Relishing our coupledom before our family officially becomes a threesome...er, a trio? Yeah that sounds better.
PROOF THAT WE SAW ALLIGATORS!!!!
We stopped by Everglades National Park on the way back to the Airport to witness some wildlife...It was WILD!
Then we saw our last sunset and it was time to "hit the road."

The End!

P.S. I will post some of Mark's photography (including pregnant bikini..shudder) when he gets a chance to upload his roll. He is a much better cameraman that I am, so you'll get the artsy vacation shots. He also tends to take a lot of pictures of me...so if you're curious to see my sun burn, my chlorine hair and/or my bulging belly please check back soon!
