Girls weekends. They are fun. The funnest. But they wear me out. I am old. Old, old, old.
Kelly, Jess and I flew from DC together (after a slumber party at my apartment that got a little out of hand) to meet up with Steph and Amy in Boston.
Steph was kind enough of host us, let us trash her apartment and drive us around all the coolest parts of Boston for two days. She’s awesome like that.
I’d never been to Boston before, so I didn’t really know what to expect beyond a lot of laughter, food and drink.
The city of Boston is gorgeous! Lots of water and beautiful foliage. I’m glad we went in the Fall when the leaves where changing, but before it got cold. I don’t function in the cold, if you’ll recall.
In addition to taking in the sights, we did exactly what I expected we’d do – ate and drank.
Seafood soups were a popular menu item amongst the group. The one pictured here is the Spicy Lobster Soup from Top of the Hub. That is a hunk of butter on top that you see there. Kelly highly regretted not ordering this, so she decided to take a few shifts and help me eat it. Real friends share soup.
Although I was the farthest North and East I’ve been in the U.S., I had to stick to my redneck ways a little bit. Beer in a can is my jam. This one was pretty typical – tasted like a PBR. After housing a burrito the size of my face, butter soup for lunch and my share of the biggest pile of nachos EVER, I didn’t have room for anything much heavier. Well, until our midnight snack of frozen pizza and donut holes later on…
But more important than the food, drink or scenery was the company. I just love these girls.
I wish we lived closer to each other, but I fear that if we did I might never get another good night of sleep again. But with all the free hair styling, makeup tips, deep, belly laughs and emotional pep talks they’d provide – it would be worth it.
Minus the sleep deprivation, it was the perfect weekend. Football even redeemed itself. Lots of fun upsets and an OU victory. I cannot complain.
Now it’s back to normalcy, which is pretty welcome. I think my body is officially over me trying to act like I’m still 21.
I need some Metamucil and a nap.
You guys totally didn’t trash my apartment. And you gave my cats something to do
Miss you already
It was a little trashed, but at least Jess cleaned up a little since I was too lazy
So glad all you guys had a fun weekend! Girls trips are the BOMB! I take one monthly
I wish I could manage that!
Oh, i am SO not 21 anymore. Although I am still a little sad we never saw Jaco’s… miss your face.
JACO’S!!!!!!
I’m disappointed that our chant didn’t get us any closer to going.
People were just not on our level.
Good friends make life 100x more fun! Glad you had a great girls’ weekend!
I’m Saaaamaaaannnthaaaaa… love you so
I’m so glad I finally watched that so I can appreciate the humor now.
I love you, too.
However, you are correct. We would never be properly rested again if we were all even within two hours of each other. Hot mess…
I think we’d have to invest in a LOT of concealer.
What a fun weekend! I want some seafood soup!!! I am hoping to find some delicious seafood dishes this spring in New Orleans, because we have no good sea food on the prairies.
Yeah I had that problem in Oklahoma. We have great seafood soup in DC
NOLA is one of the places I’m dying to go next.
Jolene, my favorite restaurant in New Orleans: Olivier’s for BBQ Shrimp Appetizer and Creole. Best. Ever. Their Etoufee is to die for as well.
what a FUN weekend! i’ve never been to boston either but would love to visit (when not freezing cold that is as well haha). creamy seafood soups are some of my favorite things, looks freakin’ delicious!
How fun! I would love to see the leaves change next year! I need to put that on my to-do list!
Jealousy aside, I’m glad you guys had fun. It sounds like an amazing weekend.
