Happy Mother’s Day
We all love those wonderful brunch buffets with the husband and kids. It gives us a chance to enjoy the company of our families and spend an hour or so letting the waiter refill the milk glass 3 times during the course of a meal. If you are a stay at home mom, you truly work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What if you could spend a weekend at <Keystone Resort Keystone Resort with friends relaxing and doing what you want to when you want to, not to mention being pampered with a massage or facial? Wouldn’t you come back refreshed and more patient with those little ones? The Girls Weekend in Keystone trend has really picked up steam and for good reason; saving Mom’s sanity!
Girl’s Getaways take some preparation. First of all, talk to a few friends and decide on a weekend. The 4 weekends after Mother’s Day are perfect for the following reasons:
1. Your husband wants to give you a Mother’s Day gift that you will love. Make it easy by telling him exactly what you want.
2. Summer vacations are still a few weeks out, so your friends should be available.
3. Savings: It is “mud season” in ski resort towns. SummitCove Property Management in Keystone, CO offers lodging at 30-50% off ski season rates. Since all of the skiers are gone, many restaurants offer buy 1 get 1 free meals. It is slow season for the spas, so scheduling a massage or facial will be easy.
Once you have your girlfriends committed and your husband signed up to take care of the kids, make reservations for your lodging. Since you will be splitting the costs, why not reserve the nicest accommodations available? SummitCove has an amazing 5 bedroom house on the golf course with incredible views and sleeping space for 14! You could dedicate one room to the massage therapist and one room to the manicurist.
Your next task is planning activities and separating responsibilities. If your group is active, I suggest you set aside time for a walk on the paved trail around the lake. Decide before hand if you will eat every meal out, or if certain members of your group would enjoy cooking a gourmet meal. Assign shopping lists for each person, for example, one person brings the wine, and another brings the breakfast items. Thinking about these options before leaving home will make it easy for you to avoid conflict and have a fabulous weekend in the Colorado Rockies!
