Dodging Out of the City

Ever get the feeling of being stuck in city life? You hear the noisy garbage truck drive by at 5 a.m. , your new neighbors upstairs are up all night stomping around, the tiring route of driving around looking for parking, or better yet, finding your car with a happy note from DPT that you owe them $60. I know that feeling all too well- That's why I decided to pack my day bag and head across the Golden Gate Bridge to Cavallo Point. I waved goodbye to the thick SF fog in my rear view mirror and winded down the road to a little slice of sunny heaven, Cavallo Point (right near Fort Baker).

I did not have the leisure of having one of their Bamboo Scrubs, Herbal Stone Massage, or Cavallo Eco Facials, nor their acupuncture or hypnotherapy sessions, however, I did purchase a $40 day pass. I was pleasantly greeted, I had free access to the spa, eucalyptus steam room, sauna, free lunch (a delish salad), and sat outside by the heated pool. It was just divine!! I had a shot of an oxygen, re-hydrating, liquid of some sort, and felt quite pampered...and all for $40. It was so worth it.

So next time you feel like busting out of the city limits, head over to Cavallo Point for a day at the spa. Have your honey or go with girlfriends, and stay for their raved about dinner, or just have a cocktail on their gorgeous grounds overlooking the Bay.
