DC Day 2

So our 2nd day we stayed at the Mandarin Oriental and had an amazing day at the Spa! I totally think every single women needs to take a day pamper themselves it's amazing how great you feel afterwards! We got there early and were welcomed with strawberry infused water... and spa slippers on a tray! We were then taken to the locker room....

Both sides of the lockeroom


The rejuvenating pool....it's suppose to regulate your body to normal body temp.

to the left is a light stimulating shower thingy(it was pretty cool), but a bit confusing to describe. The picture is of crushed ice that cools you down if you get too hot. I didn't get a picture of the sauna, but it was beautiful.

This is the relaxation room, you come in here to wait for your masseuse to call you out for your treatments, or to further your 'journey' as they say (haha!). The room had fresh fruit, hot tea, ice water with orange slices and these really neat beds. They wanted us in our most 'relaxed' state before we started our treatments. I didn't get anymore pictures at the spa, but both Brooke and I got foot massages, body scrubs, body message and this really neat oil dripped on our 'third eye' (I'm not kidding....kinda funny but amazing!) They had showers in the room so we could clean off the body scrub. After all of those fun things were over we had a spa lunch next to the pool and then back to the relaxation room to wait for our facial. I've never had a facial before and it was great! I don't know how many different things she put on my face, but boy did they all feel fantastic! After our facial we both had mani/pedis scheduled. Mine wasn't for awhile after Brooke's so I went up to the lobby and enjoyed the hotels Afternoon Tea and Sweets.....all I have to say is Chocolate Fountain!

We didn't plan anything for that night so we could just enjoy our entire day, so we ordered Room Service. {the above picture is the lobby of the hotel, sorry it's so dark}

Our 4 star hotel room

So for dinner I couldn't decide what I wanted and all of the side dishes sounded so good so I ordered one of each! Brooke was a little more Conservative with mini crab cakes, a salad, and some spring rolls...oh yeah and that's her coke....

We couldn't decide on dessert either so we ordered cookies, ice cream (which was disgusting by the way) and those little silver things are S'mores...mmmm...my favorite!

And here's our pretty pedi's! Yeah I'm the one without the Hawaiian tan!
