Countdown to Vacation

At this time next week, I will be on vacation. Tim and I are going to the beach. This means sunsets on the ocean, frozen yogurt, shopping on the boardwalk, bbqs, and lots of napping on the beach.

What's your favorite vacation destination?

Local Getaway

Traveling is great, but unfortunately not something we can do all the time. I love having local getaway spots to have a mini vacation. For me it's the spa. I'm lucky enough to live close to Mirbeau, one of the top spas and top small resorts in North America, according to Conde Nast Traveler. The resort has a french theme, and a garden that's straight out of a Monet painting. I love the spa.

When I go, I love the Ashiatsu massage. It's a backwalking massage. It sounds weird, but it feels great.

What's your favorite local getaway? And, what's your favorite treatment at the spa?

Baby Cakes

I went to my big sister's baby shower this weekend :-)
The shower was beautiful... so much pink to celebrate the little baby girl!
I loved the cake, which was made by a friend of the mom-to-be. It made me want to take a cake making class!
