Getaway for National Relaxation Day

It seems there’s a day for everything, and Thursday, August 15^th just happens to be a favorite… National Relaxation Day! Can we all take a collective deep breath and say ahhh?

Cast all your iGadgets, droids, emails and social media aside. Relax, if only for a few minutes, and daydream with me. This wish list of distinctly Southern places has me going and planning, if only in my mind. Here’s what I would do and I’d love to know what you would do…

* Hit the water and go Yoloboarding in the beautiful coastal dune lakes at www.watercolorresort.com

* Go for a leisurely bike ride along the famed Sea Island drive and take in the beauty, history and architecture www.seaisland.com

* Head to The Old Edwards Inn for the spa retreat www.oldedwardsinn.com

* Get my yoga on at The Greenbrier yoga retreat www.greenbrier.com

* Enjoy a trail ride at the Palmetto Bluff Stables www.palmettobluff.com

* Take a hands-on cooking class at The Mansion on Forsyth Park www.mansiononforsythpark.com
