A Night in Kohler

This year for Mother's Day Ryan treated me to a night in Kohler, WI.  

We would be able to relax all day at the spa and actually sleep in the next morning.

We were off the clock for a full 24 hours...WOO!!

My mom and Larry helped us by watching the kids while we were away.  Since we were in

Wausau for Memorial Day anyway, it worked out perfectly.  We woke up in the morning,

they took the kids for donuts to distract them, and we were on our way.

We stayed at The Carriage House which is the hotel directly above the spa.  The best part

of that is you can basically walk around in your robes all day long.  We didn't waste any time

getting comfortable in our robes and going to check out the spa.

 Our schedule for the day looked a little something like this:

RELAX, RELAX, RELAX

3:00PM - Complimentary Tea and Cookies

4:00PM - Pedicures

5:30PM - Complimentary Happy Hour

7:00PM - Massage for Ryan, Facial for me (BEST FACIAL EVER!!)

8:30PM - Dinner

It was such a great day!  I fully admit that it took me a little bit before I could relax.  It was my

first time away from the kids and I was a little anxious.  I knew my mom and Larry were fully

capable of handling them, but what can I say, I missed them.  Before long however, I was

completely submerged in the worry free spa life.

I'd like to say that the next morning came and I slept in until 9:00AM, but that was not the

case.  Per usual I was up 5:30/6:00AM.  Unfortunately there's no way to let my internal clock

know I get a free pass.  Even though we were up super early, it was so nice to be able to

grab some coffee and then lay back in bed, watch TV and not have to worry

about anyone but ourselves.

Ryan has asked me before "What did we do with ourselves before we had kids?"

This weekend was a little glimpse back into our pre-kid days.  While it was nice for a night,

we were both super happy to get back to see the boys.

Thanks for the amazing and thoughtful Mother's day gift Ryan!!
