Lava Hot Springs

Shawn & I were by ourselves this last weekend and he said he wanted to do nothing but relax. Well I proposed the idea to go to Lava Hot Springs. We woke up Saturday morning packed and made the 2 hour drive. Once in Lava we found a motel & checked in, so far every motel room we have been in in Lava is lets just say not top of the line. Anyway we got settled and than headed to the hot springs. We spent about 2 1/2 hours relaxing in the hot pools. The water was hot & relaxing which was nice and just what Shawn had ordered. After 2 1/2 hours we were quite prune like and decided to go back to the hotel. We had an all day pass so we intended to come back for a couple hours after dinner. Oscar came on the trip with us, so we decided to go for a walk with him. Then we went back to the hotel for a little while and relaxed while watching t.v. Now it being early evening were getting hungry so we went to dinner. If we would have had cash on us we would have played bingo while we ate, but we didn't so we just enjoyed our meal and watched others play for awhile. Instead of going back to the hot springs we decided to go to the Blue Moon Bar to see if the band was playing country music. We thought we might kick up our heels a little, but the band was not playing anything you can two-step to. We did stay a little while and listen to the music. After, returning to our room to try to attempt to sleep. I did not get much sleep between the uncomfortable bed, to being able to hear traffic outside our room, to trying to share a full size bed with Shawn & Oscar, and for the first few hours I was freezing cold. We talked about going to the hot springs the next morning, but decided against it when we got up. Instead we decided to take a bath in this huge 2 man tub that was in the room. We packed up the car and headed home, which I slept for about half of the trip. Once we got home I started laundry and laid down for a nap. So minus the bad nights sleep we had a great time. Nothing like a short & sweet getaway! We took the camera, but failed to take any pictures at all.
