Babymoon Part 6- Bed & Breakfast

What a special trip we will always remember! May have to make this bed & breakfast a tradition each fall. We highly recommend this beautiful Inn for a getaway!

So we've gone on a babymoon, organized the nursery, washed sweet newborn clothes... now we are just waiting and enjoying the next 6 (ish) weeks. I think the main items still left on the list are: pregnancy photos, installing the car seat, packing hospital bag. Boy, I can't tell you how many blog posts I've seen about packing that silly hospital bag! I'm not sure there is a suitcase big enough for what some people recommend and either way I'll be sure to forget something! I think I'd rather pack on the light side :) Any tips from the mommas out there??

Babymoon Part 5- The Inn Above Onion Creek

On our way home from San Antonio, we stopped just before Austin at a Bed & Breakfast- {The Inn Above Onion Creek}. I don't think we will ever make it to San Antonio again because we will be staying here from now on. Wow. Absolutely breathtaking. It was not your typical Bed & Breakfast, even though it had the warmth and hospitality of one, and we were even upgraded to a nicer suite when we arrived-probably thanks to John Ryman and my growing belly! The gardens and 88 acres of land were beautiful (a buck ran in front of us as we pulled up the drive) food was delicious (dinner and breakfast included- my favorite was the rosemary chicken followed by homemade persimmon gelato at dinner and the best bacon EVER with breakfast) and the decor and architecture was so charming. While the Inn was built less than ten years ago, they did a great job bringing in vintage aspects, but still keeping it clean and updated. Yes, we were there during the final World Series game :( not sure if it was good or bad that we were able to watch the Rangers lose the game on TV (hidden in the dresser below)...
