Let’s be honest, every girl needs a spa weekend – especially one who is about to have a baby! In early February, Bucklette BFFs Sandy and Suzette planned a weekend of pampering before little Alexander’s arrival, and as the weather forecast turned downright abominable, the soon-to-be-mother declared, “come hell, high water or blizzard, we are going!” As we arrived at the Inn at Perry Cabin, so did the blizzard. It snowed from the time we pulled in until early Sunday morning — a staggering 28 inches!
Many of you will recognize this luxurious resort and spa from The Wedding Crashers. It’s located in the Victorian town of St. Michaels on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Three full days of pampering were scheduled, complete with gourmet meals in between. Every meal was truly delicious. We are still talking about the mushroom risotto we had for lunch on the first day. In addition, the service was impeccable. Each night after turn down service, homemade oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies awaited us on our pillows.
The hotel and Linden Spa (named after the large Linden trees that line the brick driveway) is the perfect setting for relaxation, rejuvenation and wellness. After our first treatments (the Skin Quench Facial and Head of Roses), we were so relaxed, we couldn’t muster the motivation to make it to the main dining room — visible from the window of our suite. The unanimous decision: room service. Little things make us so happy!
On Saturday morning after a melt-in-your-mouth breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice, we toured the grounds before our appointments (massages, body firming masks and feet treatments). Each corner and every accent was more beautiful than the next. As we sat by the fireplace and enjoyed homemade hot chocolate, we shared many giggles. And if you’ve seen any of the Suzetiquette videos, you know we have no trouble laughing!
Sunday came too quickly, and it was time to depart…but not before breakfast of cinnamon and Grand Marnier french toast with vanilla cream cheese frosting and the Belgian waffle with mascarpone, figs & toasted walnuts (for the second day in a row). After being plucked, tucked, firmed, hydrated, scrubbed and massaged, homemade hot chocolate in hand, the car arrived with no remnants of snow, heat and seat warmers on. We were ready for our journey home…vowing to make this an annual girls trip!
