My mom and I have started to have a girls' weekend once a year. A few weeks ago, we got together in West Virginia at the Greenbrier resort. I'm amazed this place doesn't get more publicity. It's nestled in the mountains with gorgeous views in every direction. The resort itself has a sulphur springs spa, casino, several restaurants and many top stores for shopping. You can sign up for any activity you can think of including off-road driving, horseback riding, archery, hiking, etc. The decor of the resort is very interesting too...almost looks like it came from Alice in Wonderland....very colorful and bright! Anyway, I'm not getting paid by this resort, just thought I'd pass along information about this semi-hidden gem.
We walked around the resort the first day and just caught up on life. We found a backgammon table and I remembered how much I love this game. Unfortunately, I was a little rusty and lost all three games.
The next day, we had spa appointments, complete with a sulphur soak, steam or sauna room and massage. We then went into town for some shopping. Most of the stores were small boutiques so there was something interesting in every one. Before dinner, we went back to the backgammon table. This time I won all three games! We had a delicious sushi dinner which was on the other end of the casino. As we were walking out, we stopped to watch the people playing craps. My mom and I aren't gamblers at all, but decided to each gamble $10. We ended up walking away with $50 each, so we were happy! I even got to toss the dice a few times! We stayed up late that night laughing and just being goofy. It was a great weekend and I'm already looking forward to next year. Guess we'll have to find someplace in Italy...
Arrivederci!
