Whenever my husband and I go away on vacation, we make sure we get a hotel that offers a sauna.
One year, we got a suite that had a personal sauna in the bathroom.
I loved being in that sauna. Whenever I got stressed, had sore muscles, or just wanted to get away, I sought the sauna. My husband told me that if he had known all I wanted was the sauna when we were on vacation, he would’ve built one for me. Last week, he was doing some work in the basement. I walked down and jokingly asked him if he was finally going to build my sauna? He told me that if I won the sauna, we would either have to go on vacation, or I would need to go to the local gym. I was hoping he was kidding, but from the look on his face, I knew he wasn’t. He told me he was trying to build a room around the furnace. He wanted the furnace to have its own room, and that way we could have the rest of the basement as a playroom for the kids. I thought this was a great idea, but it wasn’t getting me into my sauna. That weekend, I went to the spa for a weekend of relaxation and being pampered. My sister and I had a great time, but we were both constantly wondering what our husbands were getting into since they were home alone. Never in my life did I expect to get home and find that he was putting a sauna in our basement. My sister and I couldn’t wait to try it out.
