Girls' Weekend 2011


5 YEARS!!!! We celebrated our 5th year of Girls' Weekend this year! How amazing for 6 friends to keep up such a wonderful tradition! We know it's important, so do our families, and that's why we keep it up!

We headed down south for yet another get-away time in Stuart, FL. Our husbands keep teasing that girls' weekend is no such thing...it's more like a week....so yes....we left Wednesday morning and came back on Sunday late afternoon :)

Kelly has since moved to Michigan, so she flew into Jax and got to ride down with me, Lauren, and Jillian. Nicole drove over from Tampa, and Marie had to stay in NY this year due to just having a baby. We missed her so very much!


Each of us brought a little something special in honor of year #5. Jillian made us a delicious Paula Dean breakfast one morning, Lauren brought us each a coffee mug koozie, Kelly bought us all of our favorite junk food, Nicole brought us matching coffee mugs, and I came with a bag of questions to pull out whenever the mood struck. It was the little things that made it a great time together.

Dinner in (Tacos) and Jamin' Jenson is a tradition! Jamin' Jenson was a little slackin' this year, so we might have to figure something else out if they don't get their act together next year :)


Breakfast at Jan's is another tradition!


LB grilled the yummiest steaks ever one night.


Seafood/nice dinner is ALWAYS a must....


And we topped off our last night with some to-die-for cupcakes.

As you can see, food was the utmost of priorities :o) We also slept in late each morning, drank our coffee while it was still hot, laid out by the pool, took naps, laughed until we cried, stayed up late solving the world's problems, and just thoroughly enjoying our time together.

Thank you to our families who help watch kids and encourage us to keep our friendships strong. Til next year...
