We are both so sore and stiff from our skiing and snowshoeing that we decided to take the day off and go for a ride for an hour or two.
Hubs is in the garage warming up the SUV. You really need one up here in Vermont.
Have to tell you quickly about the two bathrooms in the in-law suite our son got especially for us. He had the contractors redo all the bathrooms and the kitchen. Everything else just needed a fresh coat of paint.
There is a convenient powder room, and a double en-suite off our bedroom. Each has two sinks, a toilet in a separate closet, a huge shower with all kinds of sprays, and one has a soaker tub, and the other a jetted tub. I use both tubs, one at a time of course, since hub’s only uses the shower.
Decisions, decisions. It’s overkill, but it’s nice to have such a choice.
We have an en-suite in both our house and condo, but nothing like these!
Do you have an en-suite?

@DianneN Nope, but we will in the house we’re to move to shortly. I’m not really a big fan - feels like peeing in the bedroom. And I really disapprove of having a bath tub situated right in the bedroom as some folk have. I’ve even seen a glass shower cubicle IN a hotel bedroom. Not for me.

@DianneN Portugal is the worst for this sort of nonsense. Stayed in a hotel (4*) which of course had a bathroom en suite. Problem was that the wall between the bathroom and the bedroom was GLASS!!!! Yes! The bath/shower was beside this glass wall and I discovered that there was a fabric blind you could pull down for modesty, but as you stood in the shower the bathroom light was behind you so you were silhouetted on the blind. I of course pulled the blind down and didn't put the light on, but there was more than enough light coming from the bedroom through the blind so that was find. Each morning the cleaner left the place spotless, but with the blind raised - this seemed to be the default position. I've never met anyone who would find all this acceptable.

That looks heavenly. When we do our bathroom remodel I can’t wait to be able to take a relaxing bath and soak. We don’t have a en-suite.

My house was built in 1950, so the only way to make it en-suite is to put a potty chair next to my bed!
Hope you’re having a blast on your vacation!!!!

I would think after a day of skiing soaking in a nice jetted tub would be heavenly. Your in law suite does sound awesome and I'm happy you have such luxury handy.
Yes I have an en suite here...two sinks, big tub and separate shower.

Nothing like that at all its a very small place and us being able to move was really slowed down by all what started last year.
I would use the tubs as well for sure.

A hot shower is great for achy muscles.
I nearly wrote acne muscles instead.

No, I don't have an en-suite. That would be my dream to have such a nice bathroom.

Snowshoeing! That's something I haven't done in years.

@DianneN I'll bet it was! It's surprising how much energy we use up just walking in the snow, with snowshoes or without. I do love how you can walk on top of the snow with them!

@DianneN I have seen some like celebrities have that could be an entire bedroom!!! I don't need one as big as the one I have but I will never have another house that doesn't have a walk in. They really spoil you.

I'm not sure that I even know what that term means. Many homes here have a master bath and some have jacuzzis in the tubs. We only have one bathroom upstairs and no master bath.
So you staying in Vermont a little longer yet? Might as well enjoy the snow in a place like that.

@DianneN those bathrooms are around here in the bigger homes but to my knowledge that term isn't used here although I've never asked.

Yes, we have an en suite off the master. Sounds like you two are getting pampered. Thanks for keeping in touch!
