SFO to JFK... New York is seriously amazing! Then, heading home, we got to hang at the Alaska Lounge at JFK. OMG IT WAS AMAZING!
THEY HAVE A PANCAKE PRINTER! Yup, you quite literally push a button and out pops two pancakes. Ah. Maze. Ing. Plus, they are the only domestic carrier with a barista in the lounge, which is awesome. I highly suggest you pop into the lounge if you're ever at JFK.
We had SUCH an amazing time in New York. We stayed downtown, then by Gramercy Park; we took the subway/train/ferry over to Point of Woods on Fire Island, and then came back to stay at The Quin Hotel by Central Park. It was SO fun getting to explore the city, take meetings, and have date nights with my hubby!
We saw Mean Girls on Broadway. Oh. M. Gee. IT IS A MUST! So hysterical and insanely well done, if you get the chance GO!
But this post is about The Quin Hotel. We had three dining experiences nearby that I adored:
1st - Sarabeth's (amazing breakfast and right across from Central Park!)
2nd - Trattoria Dell'Arte (INCREDIBLE Italian food and such a fun atmosphere)
3rd- The Quin Hotel room service
Hope you get the chance to explore NY and comment and let me know if you want more of our favorite NYC spots in another blog post.

Coulter and I got married May 12th and got a 'honeymoon" baby!!! We got married in Carmel and took 2 nights in Big Sur, our actual honeymoon was postponed to September due to Coulter's achilles surgery. So, since we got knocked up on our mini-moon we decided to take a babymoon pre-honeymoon and we headed off to relax in Hawaii!!!!!
We partnered with Alaska Airlines, it has been our favorite airline for a while now!! It was tied with Virgin America, which they recently purchased, so they REALLY are our #1 airline all around now. We hopped on our flight from SFO-OGG, and being a pregnant lady I proceeded to feel insanely nauseous pre-flight. The amazing flight attendant found out, via my husband, and brought me over some crackers and ginger ale pre-takeoff.... then came back a few minutes later with some ginger chews. Throughout the whole flight she kept checking in on me to make sure I was still feeling okay, it was insanely thoughtful of her and the ever-growing baby in my tummy and I felt so taken care of.
We landed in Maui feeling rested and ready for a relaxing vacation! We headed to The Four Seasons and proceeded to read A LOT (I read Less, which was fantastic, and Expecting Better... a new favorite mama-to-be book), drank tons of virgin pina coladas, and ate WAY too much. Plus tanning at the adults-only pool, since it might be our last adults only anything for a while... and, of course, there was tons of beach time!
It was incredibly relaxing!! I planned out the baby's nursery, spent some much-needed QT with my cutie hubby, and rejuvenated. Also, did I mention my pre-natal massage? It was AMAZING!
All this to say, thank you so much, Alaska Airlines! And, I think this proved that a babymoon CAN totally come before the honeymoon.
With love,
