Did you guys ever do like a "last no kids vacation" when your wife was 4 or 5 months pregnant?  Any recommendos?  It'll be this summer, and normally we'd do some backpacking and/or hiking and then swing in to a major metro for a night.  But that's off the table.  Beach trip?

Why does that have to be the last time you vacation without kids?

It doesn't.

When's the youngster due?

She doesn't want to put a 30 pound pack on her back or do too much physically strenuous stuff.  She also veto'd horseback riding and boozing in wine country.

Just get her a wheelchair and push her around the closest mall.

Emo is a very tiny, physically weak human specimen.  That kid might as well be made out of porcelain.

You can still go hiking without a giant pack on your back. If you aren't the most obnoxious couple in the world.

I think I want to go to Detroit, rent a car and just drive around and look at all the abandoned buildings, like bordain did, I mean it's like a once in a lifetime thing to be able to see a city deserted, like going to an old west gold rush town :love:

Let me know if you decide to do this.  I might go with you.  Or will at least give you recommendos.

I dragged a 200 lb deer a mile.  A mile!  And he wasn't even dead yet.

Hmm, if she likes that stuff just scale it back, like do short hikes followed up by spa treatments.   

Mrs. Bf liked our trip to Puerto Vallarta while she was prego with our first.

thanks for the recommendation, @chicat. the snooze was delicious.

If you were there on the 18th, we may have crossed paths!

Nope, we ate there on the 19th. Our waitress somehow knew we were from Kansas before talking to us and it's still bothering me trying to figure out how she knew.

She was taking a smoke break when you pulled up. She saw your license plate, but you didn't see her.

Then I need information.  What type of food are you looking for?  Upscale? Gastropub? Neapolitan Pissa? What is your ideal type of food?

The Porch for more of a comfort food, somewhat "gastropub" experience. Not cheap, but not extravagant.  omg, beef stroganoff :drool:

Hibiscus for more of an upscale dining experience without the artifice of ridiculous luxury.

Abacus for sushi and "new American" or whatever you want to call it.

KC, eat brunch at Bread Winners on McKinney Ave. The chicken and waffles are made by Jesus and delivered straight from heaven.
