In early November, we had a visitor! My friend Shannon came out from SLC to visit. It was so fun to have her in town. We had a fun-filled weekend. After I picked up her up from the airport, we went to dinner with Peter. I took her to our favorite Mexican restaurant The Blue Goose. yummy!
On Saturday we got up and went to Bikram Yoga together. I have gone about 7 times and am really enjoying it and seeing improvements in my flexibility and strength each time I go. It was her first time and she did a great job. It's a tough class. Don't think that because it's Yoga that it's easy. 90 minutes in a 104 degree room with 40% humidity is tough just by itself. Now add in crazy postures and you are workin'! (We were by the thermostat and Shannon told me later that it actually got up to 110 degrees a few times.)
That afternoon we hit Sam Moon (I KNEW she would love it since it's all about accessories. She was in Heaven!) and then the mall. At that point we were starving so I took her to a real, Texas steakhouse. We were both wiped out at this point and spent the evening hanging out at home and watched a movie.
On Sunday we visited a Korean spa called King Spa and Sauna. It's this huge building filled all these different sauna rooms. There's one that is super hot (170 degrees! - we lasted like 30 seconds), an ice room, an aromatherapy room, gold room, yellow sand room etc. Each room is supposed to offer different health benefits. Plus the place has lots of chairs to hang out in, a restaurant, a movie theater, and different temperature pools. You have to naked to get in the pools (these are separated by gender). I'm not secure enough to do that but apparently it's completely normal in the Korean culture. We hung out there for like 5 hours until we had to leave to get Shannon to the airport. It was absolutely amazing. It was relaxing, calming, refreshing, etc. I LOVED IT! The place is open 24 hours and I can see how people would go and not want to leave. I wish I had a close girlfriend in Dallas because I'd like to go again but don't know how much fun it would be if I was alone. Shannon and I will FOR SURE go back the next time she comes to town.
It was a really fun visit and great to have a "girl's weekend"!
