Become Inspired at WaterColor Inn and Resort

Everyone knows that a quick weekend getaway can do wonders. Those 48-96 hours of doing absolutely what you want to do can relieve stress, alleviate everyday pressures, and basically make your world a better place.

Now, how about if you stepped up your weekend getaway a notch or two? What if you could not only could relax, but also enjoy some entertaining and educational activities as well during those 48-96 hours.

Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?

Well, you have the opportunity to experience a such on a getaway at WaterColor Inn & Resort in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., during the weekend of October 23-25. The property, along with Studio b., is offering an “Inspirational Weekend,” a first of hopefully many to come, comments Jennifer Williams.

“We are really excited to get this moving,” she adds.

Perfect for a girlfriend’s getaway or just some time for yourself, the weekend kicks off with a meet and greet book signing with Sara Foster, chef and owner of Foster’s Markets in North Carolina, and cookbook author and editor of Spry Magazine.

On Saturday morning, the day begins with an two-hour yoga class at the property’s BoatHouse on Western Lake, followed by a luncheon and then you can try your hand at a beginners figure drawing class taught at Studio b. The evening ends with an interactive cooking class and dinner with Foster.

The weekend ends with YOLO boarding along the Western Lake, which Williams says is a great place to learn, on Sunday.

The weekend package include accommodations in a Gulf view room, luncheon, cooking class and dinner as well as the daily European continental breakfast. It also allows you to choose two of the three experiences.

If you just want to come in for the experiences only, you can purchase a la carte tickets through Studio b. Prices for the different experiences vary. The meet and greet with the book signing is free to attend.

If you can’t make it on October 23-25, make plans now to attend WaterColor’s next weekend series in early March 2010, Adventure Boot Camp for Women led by Joni Colburn.
