Seattle, Day 6

A cloudy and cool walk on Alki beach, watching the ferries glide by...

Part of the reason we're on vacation is because we vacationed before my last IVF cycle, and I got pregnant, and I think being relaxed from that trip had something to do with it. Hoping to get pregnant again, obviously, and figured another trip couldn't hurt. 

Went all out on the relaxation front yesterday, with a nice little stroll on the beach in the morning, and an afternoon at the Olympus Spa. Love that place and have never seen anything else like it. There are a number of pools kept at different temperatures, a steam room, a sauna, and then a variety of rooms, most of them hot, you can go into and lie down...one with salt under sheets on the floor, one with sand, one with charcoal lining the walls, etc. There are pillows to lay your head on and you go from pool to steam to sauna to rooms...it's heaven. Not to mention the treatments...yesterday I had a body scrub and massage and moisturizing treatment.

I have a friend originally from Belarus here in Seattle, and she took me to this spa the first time...it's a great way to spend an afternoon with a girlfriend, although I went by myself this time and it was good to have some time for me, to get really relaxed and centered. Wow I really needed that indulgence...feel like a new woman. :)
