Top of the Town 2012

Oh, wow. Those were the first words massage therapist Cheralyn Miller said when she started working out the (apparently exclamation-worthy) kinks. But by the end of the 45-minute massage, her practiced technique of soothing yet therapeutic strokes had us feeling downright Gumbylike. The steam shower to loosen our muscles beforehand was euphoric; the unexpected foot bath with a crushed-walnut scrub kept our tootsies smooth for days; and the tangerine-scented aromatherapy lulled us into a trance. We left the Golden Triangle day spa tingling all over and feeling more relaxed than we had in months.
