What a way to start the day...

[Brookenstein]

It was a brisk 45* sunny SoCal morning.   I got up, made the boys coffee and then went and jumped in the new tub for the first time.  It was 102* which was a little warm for a long soak, but it was so nice and relaxing.  Even with the 5 yr old swimming and splashing it was a refreshing way to start the day.

Congrats! Sounds nice.  


I hear a lot of folks talk about a morning "soak" I never had the desire  to soak in the morning (except once on a lazy Sunday morning and my back was killing me from Saturday yard work).

The hot water  relaxes me too much and I'd end back asleep.
Do you find the morning soaks wake you up?

The water was too cold at 11 when I went to bed and I knew I couldn't wait all day to test soak, so I went for it in the morning.  I feel very relaxed and happy (but that could be the after hot tub activities as well  ) I am a bit sleepy but I think that is from the youngun keeping me up 1/2 the night.

I may soak in the morning before the rest of the house gets up just so I actually get a relaxing soak.  Most of the time I will have the 5 yr old bouncing off the walls and will be busy keeping the 19mo old from drowning.

Not to worry this time of year.....getting out of a 100 degree tub into a 40 degree morning more than wakes one up!

Hey Brook....I missed what you finally ended up buying?

Happy tubbing.

I got a less than year old Hot Spring Envoy.  

Sorry Termiantor... Springs comes naturally to me because I have to write it frequently.

Plus maybe I was trying to show ownership that the Envoy belongsed to Hot Spring and I just forgot the '.  Wouldn't that work?  

[Bonibelle]

Congratulations Brooke....You really worked hard to get the perfect spa for you and your family..you truly deserve to have a long relaxing soak...enjoy!!!

Now, now, now.....since we are practically kin, henceforth onward please refer to your spa as a HotSpring Envoy (no "s" or you'll be sent to a reprogramming camp in Arkansas.  You don't want that, believe me)

My wife and I had a tub in our chalet at the resort where we stayed for our honeymoon. Had lots of those mornings......which is why we bought a tub when we got home.

congrats brook. welcome to spatopia (finally)  

[drprwnap]

Yes, Brooke it is a great way to start the day. You've got a good idea about getting an early morning soak by yourself.  That way you can really relax and not worry about the kids.  Enjoy and welcome to spatopia!

Morning soaks are great in that they are the only time my neighborhood is quiet.  Congrats Brook.  Photos to come?  I'll start a password required section if needed.  

[Spatech_tuo]

I'll start a password required section if needed.  

but is there a way to do this without you knowing the password?

Congrats.....  
We finally were able to do our first morning soak last week....   It was nice... Kids still asleep, beautiful morning, listening to the birds, and sippin' on a cup of java..
