Phantom's Lair

S and D left d with his Grandma (thank you, Grandma!) and we headed north to Lava Hot Springs to take a break from all the hustle and bustle of moving.

 Daniel disappears into the mist.

This was my first time in the hot springs.  My skin felt amazing after an hour in and out of the water.  It was also the first time in my life when 12-degree air felt good (after sitting in the 112-degree pool).

This guy stayed in this position (in the 112-degree pool!) for 10-15 minutes.

 Following our soaking session in the hot springs we checked into our room at Lions Gate Manor (http://www.lionsgatemanor.com).  Amazing!  We had the entire Manor to ourselves because no one else booked a room last night.

 We went out to the only Thai place in Lava Hot Springs.  It was pretty good.

 Getting read to watch The Phantom of the Opera after dinner.

I finally had an opportunity to use the hand-made Phantom mask I picked up years ago in Venice, Italy.

We were treated to a delicious breakfast before departing to the Logan Temple.  We devoured sliced tangerines, strawberries, and bananas, grapes, vanilla yoghurt, banana muffins, bacon, sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs, orange juice, and hot chocolate with whipped cream.
