GirlsTrip! 10th Anniversary!

This is our 10th year since we started our girls trip tradition. I can not even believe that! I love these ladies. We have been friends for 20+ years now. I feel crazy old typing that, but I'm also proud that we have all remained friends since the 5 or 6th grade. How cool is that?! Since 2002 we have met up around the month May for our annual girls trip. Each year is a different location. There are 8 in our group but some of us have missed due to having babies around that time. I missed out last year having baby O. But I wasn't gonna miss another one this year. We have way too much fun. When we get together, we act like 12 year olds again. We are so lucky to have each other! And I hope this tradition never ends.

This year we braved the heat and went to Mesa Arizona. My friend Jenna was the hostest with the mostest. I'm not kidding, she really rolled out the read carpet for us. She had welcome bags when we got there with all the necessities for a fun start of a summer trip. Pool bag, sunglasses, flip flops, lip gloss, self tanner, and a drink holder. Although we went out to eat a lot (at VERY yummy places mind you) she cooked us gourmet breakfasts EVERY morning! We were SO spoiled! My usual cereal breakfast just couldn't compete with that.

 Massages....ahhh they were heavenly

 Shrimp with pineapple and salmon with mango tacos from Tia Rosa's.
Are you kidding me?! so good.

Pedicures!!!!

 Shopping!! we shopped till we dropped lemme tell you.

 Jenna's crazy delicious pizookie...wow.

 The whole trip was full of fun activities. But we also scheduled in a nap everyday! EVERDAY folks! Who gets to nap anymore? We did....they were epic! We did massages, pedicures, shopping sprees and more shopping sprees, went to 2 chick flicks, ate at some of the yummiest restaurants ever! Still drooling about it. We seriously ate like kings the whole time. Stayed up waaay too late talking/laughing in our pj's eating Jenna's amazing pizzookies, went to the pool and really relaxed by the pool (with out having to worry if any kids were drowning) It was like a breath of fresh air.

Some of the best things about these trips (besides getting the much deserved break all mamas need) is feeling rejuvenated and ready to go back feeling refreshed and ready to be a better mama and wife. It really is good for the soul to just laugh and laugh with amazing girlfriends. I really look forward to them every year. 3 to 4 days is just the perfect amount of time to be away b/c by then you really start missing your babies and hubby.
