Wednesday was the best of the vacation, or should I say the most relaxing. We headed to Corona to Glen Ivy Hot Springs for the whole day and let me just say it was a much needed day of relaxation. This place is like a spa amusement park for adults.
We got our own parking spot with the cabana that we reserved.

I burned myself at the beach the day before, which made soaking my feet in the spa very uncomfortable. =[ Fortunately, it didn't prevent me from enjoying my massage and some of the other great features here.

I decided to do a hot stone massage for the first time, and oh my was it so nice. It was the best, most relaxing massage I think I've ever had. My massage therapist gave me a face massage also, and she used some cold stone which felt amazing. Then when she started using the stones, it almost felt like she was using some warming lotion that was just spreading this wonderful heat throughout my body. AMAZING!!!
This is us heading into Club Mud. It's a red clay that you rub all over your body, then let it dry, brush it off, which acts as an exfoliator, and it makes your skin feel super soft and smooth! The only down side is that it can stain your swimsuit. I wasn't planning on getting in, so I didn't bring a different swimsuit, but then changed my mind, so I was trying really hard to not get mud on my suit.

After exfoliating ourselves, it was time to head to the Grotto. This was my favorite part of the day, besides my awesome massage. For this part, the staff at the grotto take these huge paint brushes and brush this green lotion which is a mixture of aloe, shea, and coconut lotion all over our skin. Then we head into the grotto which kind of looks like a cave and it feels like a sauna. This opens the pores and your supposed to massage the lotion in. It felt so good on my sunburned skin and it was super relaxing. After rinsing the lotion off, we got to head into a different area of the grotto and enjoyed a nice crisp green apple. Yum!

We had to get a picture with our cabana boy before we left. We were literally the last ones out of the spa aside from the employees.
The best way to finish the day was with some delicious cheese bread and salad at Northwoods Inn.

Relaxed, happy, and satisfied.
