Mommy's day at the spa!

Since this is the year of the big 30th birthdays, several of my college girlfriends and I decided that we needed to find a time to celebrate together. We agreed that a day at a spa would be perfect. After finding a Saturday that worked for us all (we had to book several months ahead of time to get a Saturday!!), we recently headed out to the Rock Haven spa near Hays. Talk about pampering...

Right when we arrived, they led us upstairs and offered us our choice of peach champagne or sparkling white grape juice. Well, that was a really tough choice--CHAMPAGNE PLEASE! Glasses in hand, we were each led to our own private dressing room to change into our swimming suits and plush robes. Next we followed a stone stairway that led us to a hidden whirlpool tucked away on the property. The staff left us alone to visit and enjoy the hot tub for 20-30 minutes.As we chatted, we enjoyed a platter of cheese, crackers, fruit and muffins. We also managed to finish off the bottle of champagne...YUM.After the whirlpool, they led us inside to the steam room. On the way back, we saw several peacocks roaming the property...very woodsy!We spent 10-15 minutes in the steam room and then followed up with a body scrub. We were all looking very lovely after dripping with sweat in the steam room. I'm pretty sure we all lost 10 lbs. in that room. The grand finale...full body massages! They even had heat lamps hanging over the tables to keep us warm. Awesome.
What a wonderful day...every girl deserves to be pampered every now and then. We mentioned several times that we might need to make this an annual event. 31st birthdays are just as important as the 30th, right???
Beth, Tiff & Sarah...thanks for a great time! We missed you Amber, but we will definitely do it again! Happy birthday, girls!
