Try: Norwich, Connecticut (norwichct.org)
Why: Called the “rose” of New England, this town has roses on its street signs, a rose garden in the center of town, a harbor in the shape of a rose and rose treatments at the town’s spas. It doesn’t get more New England quaintness than this. This is the place for antiquing, strolling around little mom and pop shops and enjoying small-town America (fall foliage here is phenomenal). Stroll hand in-hand-with your hubby along the harbor and don’t forget to stop by the art galleries in the Chelsea District. All this before enjoying amazing spa treatments in town.
Where to Stay: The Spa at Norwich Inn. Surrounded by English country gardens, beautiful tranquil ponds, and lush oak trees, this inn will transport you and your baby to the countryside. The spa, however, will transport you to heaven. Get the Norwich Native Flower Wrap and you’ll feel like a princess in this rose-scented treatment. With over 50 treatments to choose from, even your man will be in bliss. Prices start at $250 per room per night.
Other places to explore: Stratford-Upon-Avon in England. The scenery is the real deal—tea and scones in quaint English countryside—with amazing spas. The Mornington Peninsula in Australia—spas, wineries and quaint cottages abound in this beautiful region outside Melbourne.
