Girl Trip!!

Last weekend, as a belated birthday celebration for me (AH!! Can you believe I'm 26?! Where does the time go?!), and more just because we wanted to, my friend Hillary and I took a girl trip to paradise, AKA our place in Grayton Beach. The trip started successfully as I picked up Hill from the airport and drove straight on down to Florida following the directions of the blessed GPS. (I learned my lesson from last time Brindi!) We made it down without a hitch, belting it out to my Glee soundtrack and chatting as only lifelong friends can.

I was able to call in some favors and leave my energetic toddler at home. His time was divided up with friends, grammies and Dad. Tuck got to kick it with the ladies for the weekend, but I don't think he minded to much. It was a little chillier than hoped, so we didn't do too much lounging in the sun. We walked along the beach and even braved the raging knee high river rapids. And Hillary thoroughly enjoyed the weightlessness of swimming in the heated pool. It must've been nice to get relief from the extra pounds of baby in her belly. Not to mention that pool was 80 degrees. Aaaaah.Girl knows how to work it! Ow Ow!Our trip was awesome. We ventured into Destin, (helllllllllllo Spring Breakers!!! So not sorry to be out of THAT scene) ate at one of my favorite places, Pompano Joes, and hit up the outlet malls. We did some damage at J Crew and Carters (oh her new man is going to be SO cute!) and went to Pier Park in Panama City where we got manicures, saw Alice in Wonderland, ate coconut shrimp and bought some fudge and gourmet pop corn. The rest of our time was spent pigging out (well what do you expect when you get a pregnant woman and nursing mom together?!) and watching chick flicks and hours of TLC and HGTV!Walking around Seaside.

We braved the tornado type winds and strolled along the new Harbor Walk.

Had to jump back into reality today with all the cooking, cleaning, working, mommying, and watching what I eat. Blast!!
