Why are you asking a bunch of people here if you should take your son on your honeymoon, when taking him is what you want to do? Do what you feel is right for you - of course, take him! People who think you're stupid for wanting to spend time with you child are out of line.

Technically it would not be a honeymoon. If you are so close with your son, I see no reason in not taking him with you. You would just call it a family vacation. The more things you do as a family, the closer your family will be. You do however need to set some time when it is just you and your husband. Have your son spend the evening/night with a good friend or family member, and the 2 of you go on a date, even if it is just cuddled up on the couch together watching a movie. You need time together the 2 of you as well as the 3 of you.

I would say what makes your honeymoon specail is up to you and your husband not your family. It might be nice to have some alone time with your husband but if you would rather wait and do that some other time than that is totally you call you know your relationship better tahn anyone in your family does.
There are often great trips to the bahamas for not a lot of money and the bahamas are beautiful. There are also a lot of places in Florida that are great...the Keys Panama Beach (I dont know what coast you live on) Mertle Beach in SC is also very pretty and family freindly thats always a thought.

How about a Bahamas Cruise and Stay? You cruise down to the Bahamas and then stay for either 5 or 7 nights. The baby can join you. You want him. Why be without him if this is what you want? You don't need everyone's approval for doing something you and your husband want to do. Just do it! I just started with a great company that has some of the greatest "deals" on honeymoons Just email me at funtimevacations@sbcglobal.net. I would love to help you have the honeymoon of your dreams. Congratulations!

I would say leave your son with friends or family and take the time for you and your husband. Being a mom of two boys ages 2yrs and 8 months...I know how tired you both can be and how little alone time you get to spend with each other. I know that you want to take him with you, but a honeymoon is really meant for the husband and wife...to enjoy each others company and just be intimate and together! Plus like others have already said...he won't remember it, with the exception of pictures...and you won't be able to do "adult" things like catch a movie...just walk on the beach at sunset, just be husband and wife! Who knows maybe you and your husband will come home with a "little souvenir" if you guys are ready of course! :0)
We are actually planning our wedding in March and I'm looking for simple, nice, romantic, cheap places to honeymoon...as we are only getting away for like a weekend, but it will be without the boys! Just time to enjoy each others company!!!

I would leave the baby at home. I understand that you and your husband both want to bring the baby, but he's only 1 year old. He won't remember anything! Plus, having a baby on board a plane, etc. can be extremely disturbing to the other passengers and you'll have to have him on your lap the entire time. Hotels charge extra if you need a crib or to put a fridge or microwave in the room (if it doesn't already have one). You're better off waiting until he's old enough to appreciate the trip and remember it.

If you and your husband want to take him, then by all means do so! My parents took a second honeymoon to Bermuda when my older brother was 2 years old. The plan was to stay for a week, but they ended up coming home the 3rd day because they missed him so much.

Your honeymoon is a chance for the two of you to strenghten the bond of marriage - and if your child is part of that bond - then by all means - take him!!
There are a lot of resorts and such that would offer both adult and child activities so that you feel you have that special time and yet he is included.
Try Beaches www.beaches.com, Disney, or even the Disney cruise.
Enjoy and have fun with him - I wouldn't have wanted to leave my little guy - they grow up so fast!

Why not Australia? in case you purely like the coastline flow to Queensland (Cairns or any of the islands are probable ideal for honeymooning) in case you purely like the area and perspectives flow to the Kimberlies, Perth or Darwin. in case you want hiking flow to Tasmania and do the Overland song. in case you want wine flow to Hunter Valley or Barossa Valley. a lot to chosen from!!!

depends on how good of a traveler the kid is. no one wants to sit next to the screaming kid who kicks their seats. while those of us without children try to understand after a while it just gets annoying. you might consider going by car instead so the kid is more comfortable.
