Sunday's report: Sport & Spa with dance workout

This just in. A report on the Sunday Sport & Spa Day:

So warm! So sunny! I had always thought that the Universe scheduled rain as a consequence of planning any outdoor activity in April. I mean, that's WHY we have a whole different Sport & Spa gig for the winter months. The indoor dance work-out is a short 2-blocks from the spa; you would even sprint there in a rainstorm if things got wild. Optional lunch places 10 steps from the workout studio. And then right back to the Spa. You could do the whole outdoor thing in about 15 minutes of umbrella time.

Well, I guess that's how it works; we had a rain plan, so the Universe said, "How quaint, have some sun." And was it ever gorgeous. We took an extra-long stroll to enjoy the sun and the people watching on Sunday morning. Then to Shoebox dance studio for a Bollywood for Beginners dance workout. We even got little finger-scarves to make whatever we did look exotic.

Then up Folsom and down 2nd to Momo's just across the street from the ballpark. Lunch on the patio with a little umbrella shade and one the best turkey-club-combos things I've ever had. With cranberry sauce and bacon - fab.

The walk back to the spa was 35 minutes. And then the bliss really got underway. Aromatherapy in the air, cozy robes, hot tea and cool fruit, sinking into the jacuzzi, then hour massages all around, followed by more jacuzzi.

While I can't speak for everyone, I like to follow the day with brief trip to H&M (you never know) and whatever else looks enticing.

The Dance Workout version worked so well that we'll be adding some to our summer schedule, in addition to the kayaking. Bollywood, you have another convert!
