BabyMoon - part 1

We were very excited to spend our BabyMoon (honeymoon before the baby) in Toronto and Muskoka  with friends and family. We were excited to have my cousin Sharon with us for the first part of our trip. She's never been to Canada so she made the long 1 hour flight up north to Toronto with us. 

One of the highlights of the beginning of our trip was being able to attend the baby naming of Benji's good high school friend, Andrew and Bonnie Kappy and their new daughter Maya Joey. I wish we had photos of all of his long time friends and their multiple babies. All the kids were soooo cute and spitting images of their parents. It was just eye opening to us because living in NYC we are NEVER around kids and not 10+ little kids at once! Soon enough..... 

Then we headed north 2.5 hours to relax at the cottage for a week. As you can see from the photos below its absolutely beautiful. We went back and forth between the condo and the cottage where we were able to spend some good times with Benji's Siblings, Aunts, Uncles & Cousins. The week was full of swimming, eating and relaxing. We can't wait to go back next year with Baby Shomair!!
