A new fav!

I am a planner, I plan!
So it took my best friend completely off guard when she presented me with ideas for my birthday and I just blanked.... I think my exact answer to her was "Wow that email was overwhelming, why don't you surprise me!"  

She immediately called me knowing 2 things:
1) I love to plan 
and 
2) I am not the "surprise" kind of person.
In her exact works "What have you done with my Laura?"
I explained that work was just busy, life was busy, and really I just wanted to see her for my birthday and I would be happy doing anything!

The next day she emailed me back stating that I needed to be ready to go Saturday morning at 8:45 am.  

So on Saturday morning we woke up and got our stuff together.
Stuff she advised me to bring:
Book
Swim Suit
Purse

We started driving and I was super excited. 
We drove passed cornfield- no not going corn picking.
We drove pass wineries- nope no wineries.
We drove pass a small air station- nope no private jet 

Then we turned into the small town of Casanova Va which I totally laughed because of the name and before I knew it we were are Polor Spring Spa!

My gift- a whole Spa day for the two of us!

We had massages, facials, body treatments and pedicures!
OMG amazing.  In between we were allowed to relax either in the Spa lounge or by the pool.
Of course I was by the pool with my Fifty Shades of Gray! With a Mojito in hand.  
Apparently I started a trend because after I ordered mine, all the other ladies wanted one.
=0)  very refreshing on a warm but breezy day

Pool



We also had an amazing lunch which came from the Restaurant which is on the Manor House, which I did not know but apparently is an awesome restaurant.  

The only things that made is more perfect was that I was with one of my best friends!

This spa was awesome!  I have been to a couple of spas and I am a spa snob because to be honest they are expensive.  First, this spa was a lot more affordable, and more quaint.  I was disappointed with RedDoor and also Landsdown feeling it was just an overpriced massage, but this was an experience.  We arrived at 10 am and did not leave until 5:30 pm.

What an amazing day.....I will definitely be back!
