On Wednesday we were living our best lives at Chena Hot Springs. The geothermal springs are on average 41 degrees celsius. It feels amazing when you float on your back in the super hot water and drift by the rocks covered with snow. The natural salts in the water make you very thirsty so we headed off to the Chena Hot Springs dining room to get rehydrated. Our soup was basil tomato made with fresh tomatoes grown on the hot springs property. They grow tomatoes all winter in the greenhouses. The greenhouses are heated with the same geothermal water that feeds the hot springs we were swimming in. As if the day wasn’t already the best, we ended our trip with a visit to the Ice Hotel. We didn’t stay overnight because it is crazy expensive, but Ray tried out the polar bear shaped ice bed. Before we headed back to Fairbanks we had a drink of Dr. Pepper in ice glasses and then smashed them for good luck. What do you think you would have to do to stay warm overnight in an ice hotel? Would you try it? Enjoyed a good night’s sleep in our warm non-ice bed! You are always in my Prayers. Love Mom.
