Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!
We love our families. We really do!
But sometimes we just need to spend quality time with our girlfriends!
So, get in that full day of pampering and retail therapy,
and then get out for a night on the town!
1) First Decision: Overnite or Weekend?
You haven't seen each other in weeks, months, or maybe even years. And you know there is going to be a lot of late-night catching up to do! So the first question is whether you can get all that catching up done in a single night, or whether you'll need a few days. Because who knows when life will cooperate again to let you all get together! No matter the decision, we've got you covered with the best places to stay. Let the excitement begin! Cozy B&B? Lavish Hotel? Quaint Inn? Take your pick.
5) Get Creative
Forgotten when the last time was you've all had a chance to just play? Time to get creative. Try your hand at a cooking class. Take home your own one-of-a-kind painting at Saratoga Paint n Sip, or create a memento by painting pottery, making a mosaic or fused glass at Creative Sparks. Roll up your sleeves and get your hands messy!
2) Warm Up
Rise and shine and start your day by getting a move on. Whether you decide to walk and talk all together, lob a few tennis balls, pair off for an exercise class, or go solo on a run, you won't find a shortage of ways to get your blood pumping.
6) Get Your Zen On
What a whirlwind day! A little quiet to soak it all in can be the perfect change of pace. Maybe you're the type to enjoy a straight up Yoga class. or sit with a meditation group. But, then again, maybe your idea of a great meditation is puzzling over a captivating art piece, or listening to the quiet while overlooking a breathtaking natural scene. No matter how you like to find inner calm, we've got just the spot for you.
3) Cool Down
