Relaxing at the spa

Last year at work we had a competition of whose score-card is the best. Quite surprisingly I won and was awarded with a gift-certificate to a spa. Our spring was so hectic that we decided to push it to the fall -something nice to look forward to when the days start becoming shorter and shorter.

Last weekend we decided to go. For once there was no need to worry what to do and what not to do - the gift certificate gave us the opportunity to spend some serious money. Before hitting the spa though Katja, Aki and I took Daniel to Hoplop (a place for kids to go crazy and have some fun). The boy is so sweet, but you can see that he's not used to trying new things and hanging with other kids. It took him a while but in the end he was enjoying so bad. I even took some photos, but can't get the on this post now, so I'll share them later.

After Tonny finished his jobs for the day we rushed to Nokia, to the spa. After quickly dropping off our things into our room we dived in to a warm mud bath. Sitting there, I could really feel all the tension drifting away and my whole being began to relax. What a nice way to relax and forget about the busy weekdays. After the bath we both had an hour-long massage and facials (:P yes, even Tonny agreed to try it.. :D) So nice...

We went to enjoy some jacuzzi time and swim a bit before hitting the shower and running to the buffet dinner. It's so nice to get away for a bit... sometimes staying at home just doesn't relax you all the way, you end up cleaning and cooking etc. Even if it was just a one night stay in Nokia it made a huge difference. We were also able to sit down and relax for the first time since work and school started again. I'm still in awe how easy our marriage has been so far. It still seems like the whole relationship changed, not that it was stressfull before, but I do feel much more relaxed and at peace nowadays.
