An afternoon in Palm Meadows

It was a leisurely afternoon after showering up again after the Holi festivities. After lunch we headed up to the clubhouse, which also houses the spa. Caden got his haircut for $3 (with tip). I got a 45-minute Avocado and eucalyptus oil massage for $16 (rounding up, inclusive of 32% tax and tip). Since this is a family blog, I’ll spare details. It was good, but definitely of the overly personal, your towel is only a minor nuisance variety massage. Wade and Caden were hanging by the pool and I joined them for a while. Then I went back to the spa a little later for a manicure, pedicure and head oil (a head oil is what I get for referencing an 80s song earlier). That set me back another $16. The head oil is a conditioning coconut oil treatment since it’s so dry here, and involves a hot oil head and neck massage – think like the shampoo part of a good haircut, but for half an hour, and resulting in a Fonz-style hairdo. I also went home smelling a little like a tropical guacamole air freshener I think, but relaxed. Caden and Wade had been out riding bike through the neighborhood. And we ordered Pizza Hut for dinner… it’s not quite Italian Pie Shoppe, but, man, it’s good to be home.
