As 3rd trimester quickly approaches my thoughts turn toward travel. After all, I don't think I'll be doing much flying once baby E is born. Planes harbor so much germ-y grossness I usually catch a cold every time I fly. I'll definitely wait at least 8 months before even considering it for her. My sister suggested that B and I get away before she is born. It's our last chance to get to spend time away from home together. Being pregnant really limits the options we'd usually consider. Cocktails are a favorite past time of ours in recreational settings. (We aren't lushes or anything like that, just appreciate a couple of drinks.)
We live in southern California so the first idea for a "getaway" is Vegas. Great deals, a lot of options, B likes poker, and fairly close. The casinos are horribly smoke infested so I really don't think it's appropriate for somebody of my condition. We live very close to San Diego, but really, there is nothing to do there if you don't already have kids. The final drivable getaway option would be Mexico. I'm definitely not growing into pregnancy like many of those very lucky thin women who only see growth at the stomach. I've sort of evenly expanded...uh, everywhere. My legs are surely larger so wearing a bathing suit sounds horrifying at best. Aside from the beach and food in Mexico, I can't drink and there aren't exactly museums or other sorts of sight seeing to do.
So what else is there? I can fly for the next 4 weeks. Any affordable yet appealing options for the summer? We'd like to avoid northern California. Is a road trip out of the question for a pregnant woman? I know there would be a lot of bathroom breaks but it would cut down on costs. Any help would be great!
