French lick

My fiance hasn't really talked with me about our honeymoon yet. We have a daughter as well. Should we make the honeymoon kid friendly and stya close to home? Or should we let he go to a babysitter for a weekend and go to french lick Indiana? I love the hotel and casino there.

    I would get a babysitter, thats what my fiance and I are doing. Our son will most likely go with my sister so we can have some alone time lol. However if you want to include your daughter then go for it!

    I would lean towards a couple's vacation if it's possible. To me, a honeymoon is about connecting and a couple and celebrating your new marriage. While I don't have kids yet, I feel like having your daughter there would make it more like a family vacation than a honeymoon.

    Get a sitter! You and your future spouse to deserve to celebrate your marriage alone.

    You definitely have some time to contemplate if you're not getting married until 2021.

    We decided to make our Honeymoon a Familymoon including my FH's 10 year old son. He's a part of our wedding and his fall breaks leads into what would be our honeymoon. Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. FH and I travel alone often so a private honeymoon wouldn't be a big deal for us.

    If you're only taking a weekend break, then I'd let the babysitter take control for the weekend and enjoy yourselves in French Lick. Not sure how old the children are, but you could always put the sitter and kids up at the water park resort (Big Splash Adventure) right there in French Lick - that way your close by if needed.

    Maybe invite another adult family member to babysit? I mean, it will be more expensive to book 2 rooms, but I just don’t trust any stranger to babysit 🤷🏻‍♀️ We are taking our 3 adult kids (2 ours, 1 is our son’s gf. 3 of them will babysit our 10 yo (age at our wedding in 2022). We travel a lot with our kids but in my honeymoon I want privacy, peace, time just for us two.

    Get a sitter and stay over in the West Baden Hotel. I like both hotels and yes the casino is in the other one, but West Baden is amazing if you haven't stayed over there. I'm not sure if they are still running the shuttle with COVID, but still it is a little more fun than the other hotel.

    A honeymoon is a kid-free vacation for you to connect as a couple. Family vacation is for family later. If you tell people you're on your honeymoon with a kid in tow, you'll probably confuse people and get some strange looks.
