Girls Weekend 2009

As many of you know, I have three terrific friends from college who I get together with at least once a year... Elizabeth (in Atlanta), Becky B (in DC), and Missy (in Blacksburg). I love and adore that time we spend together! Last weekend marked eight years of trips! This year we went to Elizabeth's house in Atlanta for the weekend.

We started the weekend at Ikea and PF Changs on Friday! Saturday was pretty typical for us... we stayed in our pajamas until about 3pm at which time we finally decided to go to the pool. I think I was the only one who showered that day. We played Nerts a lot, which is our tradition each time we are all together. It is also tradition for Becky B to kick our butts! I think she should go pro! Casey, Elizabeth's husband, was wonderfully patient having that many girls in his house at once.

A lot has changed in eight years! Here's a picture from our first vacation to Pompano Beach, FL (picture taken in Miami) in 2001 and a picture of us last weekend. The extra girl is Elizabeth's daughter, Caroline.

Next year we are headed to DC to see Becky B's new townhouse! We've never been to DC for a vacation before because it is close to the rest of our parents... we knew we couldn't just go to DC, but would have to plan time to see family too. It's time.

My goal in the next year is to figure out how to best document all of our trips! We made a list of all of them, so that's a good start!
