Regeneration

After a long ordeal of any kind it is good to do something to regenerate yourself. This usually happens to me this time of year; the holidays are past, the days are still short, winter cold… these are great times to go to a museum or library, take a painting class, or learn ayervedic cooking. Yesterday a friend and I went tubing then to a float spa for chair massage and oxygen bar- both great experiences! Added bonus plenty of laughter 🙂

Our lift tickets were from 2-4 so it gave us time to have a leisurely start and stop at an antiques mall on the way to browse. We arrived at the ski slope just in time and anxiously got prepped up. We were the oldest people there by far lol. So we get on the sidewalk lift with our tubes and I think I am gonna fall before the end you had to stay in one place on a steep moving slope.

We get to the top and the kid pushing us down asks if this is our first time and I say my first today and her first ever and they spun us like a top and we sped down this hill spinning until I thought I might pass out. We both come to an abrupt stop way short of the end and wow my head is still spinning! Then they are yelling for us to get up and we had to walk to the end while everyone up top watched, it was a tough first run… We took a break and noticed that when people are tethered together they don’t spin at all so that is how we did it from then on and it was awesome! Gorgeous day in the mountains! We got in about a dozen runs.

After hot chocolate we drove into Hagerstown to a place called Regenerate Float Spa where my friend had booked us an anti gravity chair massage and time at the oxygen bar, both new experiences. The place was awesome! Loved the floaty decor! Lots of poured paint, himalayan salt and mesmerizing pieces. The focus there is sensory deprivation float tanks which looked like space ships, very cool! They also have a light therapy room and sauna, plus another mystery coming attraction.

Eric the owner was a great host and explained that he and his wife try to connect with each guest. He set us up in a private room with two massage chairs and wow they felt great after some runs down a mountain. Then we oxygenated with a tossable single use mask while talking about their business and Stayafloat. Soon it was time to float home ~~~ defintely felt regenerated! Recalling our day and watching videos cracked us up! Some good belly laughs rounded off a perfect day, and now I can get through a little more cold and dark with the help of some great memories.
