Melly's Bachelorette Weekend

Melanie's must really be getting married - we've now had her bachelorette weekend getaway!

We gathered Friday afternoon at a hotel in Corona, about 90 miles away, and very close to the Glen Ivy Hot Springs spa.

My mom and our very dear friend Linda put together a lovely party for about a dozen of Melanie's favorites.

We ate, drank, played games, and Melanie opened gifts of the nightgown variety. Linda had ordered personalized drink tags for everyone, along with other great decorations.







Here's the bride, and the matron of honor. It was such a fun party!

Then we all retired to our very nice hotel rooms. Aunt Patty and JT and I shared one, and it was a great experience. It was fabulous to get away with the gals, like we used to before we were married mamas.

 The next morning, we headed over to Glen Ivy. Linda and her daughter Mikayla got there extra early, to stake out a fabulous block of lounge chairs shaded by a vine covered shade structure.

We lounged, ate and drank, used the hot tubs, floating pools, steam room and sauna, and even had fun with the group water aerobics. And, there was the mineral hot springs, and the clay mud! Here are Mel and her friends, muddied up.
































And Linda outdid herself here, too, providing each of us with drawstring bags personalized for the occasion, with water, mints, lip balm and more inside.

After Glen Ivy, we stopped at Tom's Farms for dinner, and then headed home, perfectly relaxed and content.
