Babies change everything. From the first moment you hold your child in your arms, your heart feels as though it just might burst. They rearrange your priorities and mix up your schedule. All of a sudden, the things that used to feel so simple become a little more complex. Even just getting out of your car to grab an iced coffee requires special planning. While babies are more than worth it, you should still find a way to embrace the time before they arrive. By booking a babymoon with your spouse, you can have one last trip and reconnect before meeting the newest member of your family. Here are the best places to take a babymoon in Connecticut.
