Girlfriends-only Getaways
By Kathleen Reilly, Better Homes and Gardens, May 2006
When daily routines wear you down, round up friends for a revitalizing retreat to play, relax, and learn. You'll return home to loved ones with new energy.
Deborah Athans, a Cincinnati mom of two, replenished her energy and sense of self during a weekend adventure in Chicago-a trip with five of her gal pals, sans kids and husbands.
"It was wonderful!" she says. "We saw a show, shopped the Magnificent Mile, went to Chinatown, and took an architectural boat tour down the river. Not only was it a lot of fun, but there's something about connecting with other women that's very rejuvenating." She returned home ready for her dual roles as mom and wife.
A girlfriends-only vacation doesn't replace family vacations. It's for freeing yourself from the details of family life, catching up on girl talk, snagging soem R and R, and returning with your batteries recharged, ready to jump back into life with those you love.
Ready to get away with the gals? here is a destination to consider:
Millersburg, Ohio: If you're feeling stressed and frazzled, go to the Inn at Honey Run. This 70-acre property offers a "Relax and Rejuvenate" package that affords even the most harried woman a much needed break, and a welcome opportunity to spend quality time with her pals.
What to do: Take in the tranquil landscape, check out the unique "honeycomb" rooms nestled into the hillside, and enjoy your relaxation package, which includes two nights in a Main Lodge guest room, the chance to visit and experience the world's largest Amish community, complimentary breakfast, lunch and gourmet dinner in the Lodge Dining Room, treatment at a local spa, bird watching with provided binoculars, and reading by the fireplace and catching up with your friends in the serene setting.
