Asheville, North Carolina!
VS1 Travels team recently hosted a Gals Wellness Getaway weekend for ourselves and some of our guests in Asheville, North Carolina. It was such a fun trip with a great mix of relaxation, connection, and group activities. We enjoyed this 3 night R&R stay [and wish it was longer!] at The Horseshoe Farm which is about 15 minutes away from Asheville airport.
My top fav moments of the trip:
- Meditation with the girls in the Silo Tower in the mornings
2. Exploring the vast Horseshoe Farm property – labyrinth, hiking, gameroom, ponds, gym – I really felt like a little kid exploring and it was fun!
3. Relaxing with the girls in the hot tub and pool; then also having time to myself in the steam room and sauna
4. Instead of a massage, I opted for a facial. Great mix of pain and relaxation and it was just what I needed..
5. Sitting on the deck with our glasses of wine and taking turns learning each other’s names and our fav country we’ve visited (and then repeating it back to each other as a game).
6. Eating all the yummy foods in Asheville and The Horseshoe Farm. The bread and fig butter at the Silo was fantastic! And pizza and sunset views at Soprana Rooftop Cucina.
7. Playing HORSE (basketball) with some of the girls – it’s been a long time since I’ve played and I still got it haha
8. Our group waterfall hike and eating lunch in nature
9. Talking about all of our life mantras at dinner and enjoying my pecan pie. My mantra was something along the lines of…”If there’s a will, there’s a way.” Meaning that there’s nothing that you cannot do, you just need to figure out how to do it and then do it. If it’s starting a new career in a new industry, buying a business, investing in real estate – the sky is the limit (and time). That is what I try to think of when I am interested in doing something new.
And honorable mention, but loved our goodie bags that each girl received (Thank you Lauren and Anya!)
