Having the opportunity to spend the afternoon at a spa is a luxury that never seems to fit either of our budgets or timetable. But after spending an afternoon at The Spa—I had an amazing manicure and pedicure while Elyse enjoyed a massage, followed by relaxing in the quiet room with candles and magazines and ending with a delicious lunch and glass of wine at McCormick &#038; Schmick's Seafood Restaurant—we both felt like we had gone away for the weekend, forgetting any stress or pressures of everyday life. ]]></description>
