The most important time in the world can be the time you make for yourself. Quiet the mind, relax the body and find that inner peace. Whether it’s a spa day retreat at Kohler Waters Spa, Arista Spa, Spa Suites at Le Meridien, and Eaglewood Resort and Spa, or taking a long walk in the quiet gardens of Cantigny Park. Consider restoring your mind and body at one of DuPage’s notable Zen spaces like BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir, Carmelite Campus National Shrine of St. Therese, Science of Spirituality Meditation Center or at the Billy Graham Center and Museum.
There are plenty of opportunities to find your Zen during your girlfriend getaway in DuPage. What a better way to end your girlfriend getaway with an afternoon tea at Drury Lane.
And, before you head home make sure to stop at the Little Popcorn Store and pick-up some special treats for the kiddos.
