So last week was the anniversary of my boyfriend Michael and I's first date, and it was also the first time we met in person(we met online.) Mike took some vacation days and for the first couple of days we went up to this fancy-ish hotel we'd visited once, and before we went home, we went to Epcot. The hotel had its own spa and I was interested in getting a massage, since I'd never done it before, but the prices were pretty high and didn't really think, or expect it to happen. But my boyfriend decided to splurge those few days and put the expensive charges on his credit card. It became basically an anniversary/Christmas present. Which I'm fine with. We decided on the couples massage. It was really interesting. Mike looked so adorable in his big, fluffy robe. I wish I had got a picture of it. Mike was pretty adamant on having a female masseuse. I wasn't so sure about what I preferred and just left it up to them. I got a male masseuse. He was good, though sometimes the pressure he used, especially on my neck and back was a little too much. Which was kind of my own fault, he asked me several times if I wanted him to use less pressure. But I felt that he was the professional, so he would know best. Plus, I thought the more pressure, maybe the better result. You may not know it to look at me, but I have a high tolerance for pain when I think I can get me something I want. Like when I put relaxer in my hair, no matter how bad the burn, I leave it in as long as possible because I know the results will be better. It was a mostly fun, enjoyable experience. I did get a little embarrassed when he was doing a sand treatment on my feet and I started giggling uncontrollably. Very ticklish area for me.
I hadn't been to Epcot since I was seven, and I thought it was horribly boring then. But Mike was really excited to see their hydroponics exhibit. It wasn't as boring as I had remembered, though still not loads of fun. But the experience was ten times better because I was with him. Unfortunately, it rained towards the end of the day and my hair got wet, which is a big no no for me. There was an area of the park, where each section was divided into different countries. One section had shops and food dedicated to italy, or Germany, or Norway, etc. I had to laugh when it ended up raining the hardest when we were in "London." We got our picture taken with several different Disney characters. We saw this Michael Jackson 3D film that they've had since 1986,
Captain EO. I am now convinced I saw that movie the first time I was at Epcot and blocked it from my mind like a traumatic experience. Mike and I agreed that it was one of the worst things we've ever seen.
It's been a wonderful vacation, and I'm really going to hate it when he has to go back to work in a couple of days.
