My daughter and I have escaped the tedium of her winter break by staying at a local Hot Springs resort. Having “won” a discounted vacation package in a drawing (translation: it’s a timeshare and they want me to purchase with them), we get to spend 3 nights and 4 days enjoying all that the resort has to offer.
Our first hour on the property, my easily impressed
8-year-old keeps saying, “Whoa, this is cool. We should stay here all the time.” I warn her that this is
not appropriate behavior during a presentation to get us to buy in to their
program, but yes, it is indeed cool.
After all, the one bedroom suite to which we’ve been assigned is almost
larger than our whole apartment.
After check-in, we immediately partake in the hot spring pools (well,
one of them, anyway). After being
told not to wash my recently dyed hair in hot water, this of course sends me into a state of
panic. Or maybe it is wearing a
bathing suit? Or sharing the
locker room with overly familiar (and nude) European women on vacation? Ha.
We venture off-property for dinner, finding ourselves at a
local Mexican restaurant. I have
eaten there before and consider it decent. My daughter, however, cannot stop waxing philosophical about
the joys of her chicken fingers.
She also informs me that she is in “Stage 2” (apparently the slight
mounding) of her breast development.
Man, that girl is obsessed with growing boobs. I have no idea why.
We return to the room after renting some board games and a
puzzle from the front desk (one of the awesome features designed to keep us on
the property). We attempt to watch
a DVD, but I cannot figure out how to switch the TV to DVD mode. I work on it for half an hour before
realizing I can’t change it because they haven’t put the correct TV remote in
my room. Awesome.
We have a busy couple of days coming up, just fraught with
all manner of relaxation. Oh yeah,
and horseback riding. Tune in
later this week to hear all about THAT adventure. I am sure it will be a winner, probably entitled, “How I
Love Horses Even Though They Do Not Love Me.” Lol.
Until tomorrow, Lovelies….
