Girlfriend Cruise 2013

In September, I set sail with 11 of my girlfriends on a one night cruise. It was a really fun and relaxing weekend, which I really needed at the time.

We boarded the boat, the Star Princess, at around noon and sat right down to a buffet lunch. There was a huge variety of food to choose from! Then we hit the pool! Thankfully it was a beautiful September day, still warm and the sun was shining! Hot tub time with the ladies, we took over one of the hot tubs on the lido deck. A couple of drinks and before we knew it it was time for dinner.

Dinner was really good! You can order as many things from the menu as you'd like! 3 appetizers? No problem! 2 entrees? Sure! That kind of blew my mind. I'm not big on wasting food so I just ordered one from each section and everything was tasty.

After dinner, we took in a comedy show and then hit the night club. There was a lot of fun and dancing til about 230am...I was one of the first ones to tap out and go to bed! So much fun to just let loose and be around my dear friends.

Atlanta '08

My trip to Atlanta was really fun. I met up with 4 friends from my forums that I have known for years but had never met in person. I know, crazy huh? It was such a fun weekend and I am so glad that I went.

We visited the Coca-Cola Museum which was way cool. We got to sample many Coke products from around the world. In the tasting room, they had sections divided into the continents and you could taste about 8 different drinks from various countries in that continent. Some of them were so good and some were horrendous. One tasted like mint mouthwash. Ick!

We talked A LOT. We spent a lot of time getting to know each other but it was actually amazing at how well we already knew each other! The neat thing with forum friends is that they are there every day. We talk every day online we all share many things about life, kids, family, and our experiences with each other.

Thank you to my friends for coming and for making it such a memorable weekend!
