Blue Lagoon

 A trip to Iceland is not complete until you have visited the Blue Lagoon.
It is a warm mineral pool that is open year round.  There is a shuttle from the airport and many travellers plan a couple of hour layover and head to the Blue Lagoon for some pampering.  We stopped her on our way to th airport since our flight wasn't until 5pm.  It's named for the blue appearance the water has from the minerals in the water here.
 

The also have pots around that have a silica mud that you can use for a facial or a body scrub.  Kadence and Austin are sitting on my lap as I write this looking at the pictures and saying, "swimming" and "kick, kick".

They have a swim up bar where you can get drinks or ice cream.  We splurged for some ridiculously over priced ice cream bars.
 

And then we are on our way home. 

It will be so nice to see the sun set and for it to actually get dark.  I didn't realize how much I missed it.
