Every year Susan and I have a girl's weekend. Usually it involves traveling somewhere, Boston, Chicago, the Carolina shore. This year we decided to keep the trip close to home, but boy did we have fun. First of all to have a girl's weekend we need to get rid of all boys. Easy enough, Ben was working and Daniel stayed in Charlotte. Susan arrived in Atlanta Friday night and we kicked the weekend off. Originally she had planned on driving but due to the gas shortage, Georgia and North Carolina are experiencing she ended up flying in. Friday night we kept it low key. We fixed dinner, watched the Presidential debate and did a lot of chatting.
Saturday was going to be a full day of shopping. We started out by hitting IKEA. I can't tell you how much fun I have looking around, it is just a fun place. We shopped for a good two hours and stopped for lunch. The food is pretty good and their prices can't be beat.
Time for some silliness.
We still had another floor to look at after lunch. We easily spent three hours in IKEA.
I think this is how we all felt.
Next it was off to shop for some clothes at H&M. Shopping at H&M is definitely a trade mark of our girl's weekend. I don't think we could truly call it a girl's weekend if we didn't hit an H&M.
After H&M we had a few more shops to hit before we called it a day. I must say Maggie Grace was a real sport, she loves to go shopping. At about seven we called it a day and headed home. We picked up a pizza, which we devoured and sat in front of the T.V. watching a movie that neither of our husbands would be interested in watching. The movie was about shoes, need I say more?
Sunday came much too soon, and it was time for Susan to head back to Charlotte. Maggie Grace and her Aunt Susan got a few hours of playing in before it was off to the airport. It was sad taking her to the airport. We always have such fun together that the time just flies by. I can't wait to see where we will go next year, Miami?
