Today is my girlfriends birthday and to celebrate we are going to spend the day in the luxurious Fairmont Banff Springs Willow Creek Spa.

Now a trip to this spa isn’t just a day for her. And I am not saying she deserves it, of course she does. But darn it! So do I.

Truthfully, this isn’t my first time to this spa. In my past life as a cook at The Banff Springs Hotel, I would do an odd shift in the Spa to get myself free access to the spa’s services. Trust me, an extra 8 hours a week of work was well worth the time. This place is just amazing and relaxing.

If you are ever in Banff, I highly recommend visiting the Spa yourself. If you don’t believe me read how Fairmont describes The Willow Stream Spas:

All Willow Stream Spas are sanctuaries inside Fairmont Hotels, in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Each reflects its surroundings - the desert, the mountains, the sea, or the cityscape. All offer Fairmont’s unique brand of luxury and outstanding service, coupled with authentic spa experiences and a place to escape that simply makes you feel fantastic.

We’re serious about creating authentic experiences where just being here is a joy. Our spas are relaxing, comfortable and sensorial. The layers of details, the small touches, make the difference. We help you escape your fast-forward, mad current world and bring you to a quieter place to recover, so you can dive into life again - energized.

Sounds awesome eh! If I could retire today, I would love to be able to enjoy a place like this every day till I die!

Gotta love the WordPress time stamp feature.
