babymoon

D and I had a marvelous time in Chi-town for our babymoon (2nd definition) over Memorial Day weekend.

–noun
1. A planned period of calm spent together by a just-born baby and its parents; A "honeymoon" for new parents and their infant.
2. A last vacation taken by expectant parents before a baby is born.

Before learning we were having twins we had pondered more exotic and exciting adventures that we won't be able to do again for awhile, but the doc recommended that we not travel far, we not travel at all beginning in June, and we go to a place with good hospitals, all just in case.  It turned out to be a wonderful choice for us.  Short flight, superb hotel, lots of fun things to do that I could sit and enjoy.  All in all, great.  Highlights were Second City for an afternoon of comedy, two Cubs games (including a win by the Astros!!), concert in Millennium Park, architecture river cruise, and a visit to the Art Institute.
