A Romantic Babymoon in Princeton

November 2, 2011 By

The Nassau Inn

I was discussing with someone where I got engaged, married and spent my honeymoon. Then I was asked where I spent my babymoon. With my first child, we went to Italy for a week, and with the second it was just a weekend in good ol’ New York City. I wasn’t in the mood to travel far, so had my visiting mother watch my son at home and off we went for a weekend of alone time. That made me think. If couples didn’t want to go far, could they babymoon in Princeton? Why not? Princeton can’t be compared with Italy or New York, but if you live in the New York or Philadelphia tri-state areas, and need an escape from your routine, it can offer a wonderful and economical getaway.

The main purpose of a babymoon, like a honeymoon, is to connect as a couple. This will be the last vacation you will spend together before your lives change, if it’s your first baby. And if you already have a child or a tribe, and you can get someone to watch them, it’ll be a much needed break. Either way, it’s also a time to pamper the expectant mother and pick up cute items for the baby. A great location provides spas, shopping, and romantic dining. Princeton, NJ can offer all of the above, plus more!

SPA AND WELLNESS

Carrying a baby can make a woman tired, cranky, and achy. Spa treatments are a way of pampering and relaxing her. Here are treatments that are great for or specifically  for expecting mothers.
