Hubby and I were planning on going on one last, intrepid vacation this past August....but unfortunately my dreams of Greece, Turkey or Croatia slowly faded away as his work schedule got full and he could no longer take off the time. Instead, we did the next best thing: Bastrop, Texas...for one night.
I wanted to get away for atleast a night before the baby arrives, to get pampered, relax, but mainly share some special memories alone time with my husband before children. We checked into a beautiful resort about two hours away from Houston called Hyatt Lost Pines. The resort grounds were beautiful, and very authentic Texan. Its situated in a nature park, and in fact, we saw a dead armadillo on the side of the road pulling in (my first!).
There was plenty to do: horseback riding, golfing, trap shooting, bass fishing, kayaking, biking, spas, etc. But yours truly, 33 weeks preggo, situated herself at the edge of the amazing lazy river pool, and proceeded to order one (virgin) pina colada after another, catching up on the latest US Weeklies. It was bliss.
Hubby and I tried two of the hotel restaurants and enjoyed a leisurely brunch the next day. After spending another full day floating around in the lazy river, we made our way back to Houston blissfully relaxed and happy. Sometimes, you just need to remove yourself for 24 hours to rejuvenate.
On the flip side, there were a TON of families there. In fact, almost everyone had kids. So we got a snapshot of what it may be like in the near future. We are sure our son will enjoy the resort as well, so we hope to go back with him and friends again -- somehow, am doubtful my next trip will be as carefree.
