Every Autumn for the last 19 years it never fails that at some point (usually in November, around Thanksgiving) my husband or I bring up one of our favorite Thanksgiving memories. Our first Thanksgiving as a married couple was spent 2000 miles away from friends and family, living as newlyweds in Southern California and sipping wine coolers in the hot tub under a beautiful sky. The air was crisp but no where near as cold as our family and friends were experiencing back in the heartland of America under inches of snow.

We no longer live in California but that doesn't mean a Thanksgiving evening or even a Christmas Eve or two might not be spent in a hot tub yet! As a matter of fact our neighbors in Minneapolis, Minnesota took a picture of them and their two kids in the hot tub with Santa Claus hats on and snow falling around them and used it as their family Christmas Card!

If you are thinking of purchasing a hot tub or spa the internet is a great place to start even before you walk into a show room. In your own home, online, you can study the different styles, types and brands; get an idea of prices, shop for sales, learn how to maintenance and do the upkeep on your hot tub or spa and learn how to purchase the correct hot tub covers and spa supplies. Sites like spasuppliesonline.com walked me through the process starting at ground zero with the basics and placing the easy to maneuver headings across the top of the page. I learned everything about hot tub covers, spa cover lifters, how to purchase a cover, how to make sure the correct one is right for my family all the way to how and where to purchase supplies and jacuzzi parts. Easy to use, quick to read and informative, you'll want to take special note of the section explaining how to measure for your hot tub cover guide. No one wants to purchase a brand new cover only to get it home and find it doesn't fit! For more information just click on the spa supply link above.
