We Wanted Low-Cost Fun

Babymoon
Credit: Leah Meidl

WHO: Leah and Jason Meidl, of Junction City, Wisconsin, expecting their first child. "To save for Baby, we took a simple trip," Leah says.

BABYMOON: Mackinac Island, Michigan, about a five-hour drive from their home. They booked a four-night stay at Parkside Inn Bridgeview (ParksideInn.com), in Mackinaw City, which is across the bridge from Mackinac Island. "Each day we took a ferry to the island, which doesn't allow cars," says Leah.

BEST MEMORY: "Standing on the lakeshore and watching the sun go down and the beautiful bridge light up," she says.

THEIR ADVICE: "Don't overlook free art galleries, festivals, tours, concerts, and just being together," says Leah, who enjoyed watching kite-flyers on Mackinac Island. "And keep in mind that budget hotels often offer free breakfast!"

We Really Relaxed

Babymoon
Credit: Jennifer Paculdo

WHO: Jennifer and Reiner Paculdo, of Bellevue, Washington, expecting their sixth child (and first boy). "I slept in every day," Jennifer says. "We scheduled no wake-up calls, and it was bliss."

BABYMOON: Two nights in Las Vegas at the Eastside Cannery Hotel (EastsideCannery.com). "We wanted a combo of pool time, sunshine, and much-needed sleep," Jennifer says. "I didn't want to cook or do any chores!" They arranged a small army of family and friends to stay at their house and care for their five girls. "The hotel was a gem," she says. "When we told the clerk that it was our babymoon, we got upgraded to a Jacuzzi suite that had a view of the Strip."

BEST MEMORY: "We spent an entire day in the pool, floating on a raft," Jennifer says. "And I satisfied all my pregnancy cravings!"

WHO: Kayla and Nathaniel Lech, of Dubuque, Iowa, expecting their first child.

BABYMOON: A sightseeing trip of Southern California. They visited Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Santa Monica for eight nights, staying in a home that belongs to relatives who were away at the time. "We had a whirlwind adventure doing things we don't get to do in Iowa," Kayla says. "We toured Warner Brothers Studios and Griffith Observatory, and walked Venice Beach, the Santa Monica Pier, and Hollywood Boulevard."

BEST MEMORY: "Attending a Cirque du Soleil show -- so worth the $100 per ticket," says Kayla, who snagged their tickets at the last minute.

THEIR ADVICE: "If you have relatives who live in a place you want to visit, take advantage!"
