The last post I did I said my hubby had a surprise for me. He certainly did!
I was instructed to be in my car at 9:00 AM on Thursday and call him for further instructions.
I called as I was pulling out of the driveway and he told me to go to my best friend’s house and to find her.
Find her?
Was this a scavenger hunt?
No!
I got there and my Dawn (my bestest friend), her momma (Doris – from New York), and her brother’s wifey (Renee – also from New York) were there waiting for me. Here’s the gist!
My honey paid for me, and part of Doris and part of Renee to go to a Spa in Calistoga! We went Thursday, spent the night there and then Friday had – check this out, a MUD BATH, mineral spa, hour massage, and facial!
Oh. My. Goodness.
Girls could have no more fun – oh, we did ofcourse tour Calistoga and shop like the ladies we are!
The mud bath was oh so stinky! Smelled like sulfer and was so HOT! Dawn and I shared a room and adjoining mud baths and had a few mud tosses at eachother. Then showed after and got into the mineral spa. Oh so much heaven!
The massage was to die for! And the facial? Oh I was shinin’ – in a good way.
It was wonderful – and for the gals from upstate New York – getting away from the 30 below was a good thing!
I didn’t get to take pics, we were too busy and to stop for photos wasn’t on the overall agenda. BUT I did get a good one of Dawn, her momma and her sister-in-law!

Are they happy or what?!
We went to the Calistoga Golden Haven Hot Springs. They treated us like queens and what more can you ask for? I’d recommend them any day. I’ve also been to Lavender Hills in Calistoga, very nice as well! Just in case any of you would like to take a day for a spa treatment!
So that was my surprise.
Today is Doris’ birthday and her and Renee are leaving to New York in the morning. I’ll miss them both.
Thank you dearest hubby. You sure know how to treat your lady.
