Sigh.

I'm back from our vacation. It was awesome. And I still have 3 days off of work! Like I said, we went to the Equinox Spa - which had just gone under a huge renovation. The property itself was pretty awesome. But - the things to do were great too. I availed myself of all of the spa services they would allow for a pregnant woman - each day I did something different. First day, a Mother Earth Wrap, next day a pedicure, and right before we left, a pregnancy massage. And it was an AWESOME massage. They had this preggo pillow, that let you lay on your belly.... heaven. Although I will admit my boobs hurt after a while... but she really massaged me. The lady I go to here is pretty gentle (which has it's own good bits).


The first day I mostly hung around. In the morning, we went into town and I found the town yarn store and poked around in there for a while. And then got some books at the bookstore. And then got my wrap.... awesome.


But the second day?! We decided to go on a Hawk Walk. The have the British School of Falconry at the spa - and it sounds sort of lame when you read about it: 'During this session, guests free fly Harris hawks along The Equinox' scenic trails. Guests are required to have taken a lesson prior to participating in a Hawk Walk. ". I was like... OK, I'll go. I'm SO glad I went! I can't really describe how cool it was. Maybe pictures will help (and you can all notice my OBVIOUSLY pregnant belly, thank you very much)

Do I look like I'm having fun?

And here is Haggis (that was my hawk's name) practicing landing on my arm.

Too freaking cool.

Now I'm home, and have a few more days to relax before I get back to work. Hurrah.
