Dixson Family Fun!: Our babymoon!

Dad and Mom by the Miss. River

**First off, I am still learning to navigate this blog site, therefore, the above photos technically belongs down below.... but I couldn't figure out how to move it down there. Whoops! **

So... according to various internet/magazine articles that I have read.... it's encouraged to take a babymoon. This is defined as a vacation you take with your spouse some time in the 2nd trimester of your first pregnancy, to enjoy time just the 2 of us before baby arrives. Well..... as silly as it may seem, we happened to have a trip planned during this timeframe, thus, a babymoon! Last week we went down to St Louis to visit my parents. It was SO great to see them and spend some time with them!! I've seen pictures of their apartment and toured the office via Skype... but it was good to see it in person. They have a nice amount of space I think. There wasn't a grand agenda for this trip, just hanging out.
          Wednesday night when we arrived mom gave us a tour of the apartment/basement, dad grilled up some pork chops, mom and I took a walk, and we just spent time visiting.
          Thursday Mom Joe and I went to the grocery store (got to see some of the St Louis area near the seminary), took a guided tour of the campus, had yummy lasagna for dinner and watched a movie.
          Friday Joe and I went to class in the morning with dad and then we went and visited the arch. We did take the tour up to the top... very high! Friday night the seminary hosted an Octoberfest gathering and we got to meet several of dad and mom's friends.
          Saturday morning we went to the mall with mom and did a little maternity clothes shopping (Thanks mom!!). Came back to the apt. for lunch and then headed back to the Bluffs. A short trip all in all but some much needed together time!!! We'll see them again around Thanksgiving when dad gets a break from classes, it'll be here before we know it!
