In the chapter "Making a Splash", the author suggest couples immerse in water together, "Water, water, everywhere and not all of it's to drink. Relationship feeling parched? Make the most of the revitalizing properties of H20...Once the privilege of the seriously rich, you'll find a jacuzzi or hot tub in most spas, and in many hotels and gyms. What a great way to re-energize tired bodies."
Idea: Why not visit the
Smoky Mountains where you'll find water relaxation or adventure inside and outside the cabins? Leisurely soak in the tub. Spend the day rafting the Pigeon River. Relax under the stars in your cabin hot tub. Indigo Moon Lodge has a jacuzzi tub, hot tub, and sauna and conveniently located less than 60 miles from Hartford, TN where you'll find 12 Class 3 and 3 Class 4 rapids on the Upper Pigeon River.
