Retail therapy

My threats worked! :) Here are the pictures from our girls weekend shopping getaway a few weeks back.

This was when we met up at the outlets before we took off on our spree!

Lu, Me, Lisa and Lisa T

and a gracious bystander offered to take our picture so Kimmy and her belly could jump in the picture

Our tour guide, Floyd

This is what you have to go through to earn your way into the family. Lisa T was going to take our bags out to the car while we did some more shopping but we ended up walking the same direction and it looked so funny POOR Lisa carrying all the bags. So glad we took her along! :)

Then we went to get our hotel. There must have been some kind of sporting event in the area because the nice hotels we were planning on going to were BOOKED! Who would have thought! So, we found a Super 8 and that was our home that night. We (or maybe it was just me?) thought it was hilarious that there were ground hogs outside our open hotel window.

Hi there little guy

Eating dinner

That night as we were heading back to the hotel after eating and some more shopping, Lu was just "dehydrated" and had to stop and get some water. So, we ran into Walmart to grab some bottled water. As we walked in there were the most awful looking "pleather" pants and just awesome t-shirts that went with it. We were standing there making fun of them and saying "who in the world would ever buy and wear this?!?!" Then we looked at the CLEARANCE $1 price at the top. We all started looking at each other and busted out laughing. Yep, I think we successfully embarrassed Lu!

So, this is ALL any of you get to see of these pictures... My shirt says "Call me" under the telephone booth, Lisa T's says "Cheers," Lisa's "I fall in love at least 2 times a day" and Kim's... well, lets just say looked great on that big belly. Great times, great girls.

Ahhh love this girl. She just cracks me up. Someday (soon?) she might just be Sister-in-law #6. :)

What a much needed get-away for all of us. Although being mommy is the most important, best thing in my life - it is wonderful to get away for a little while. And even better to know that they are having so much fun being with mimi, pop, Josh, Jody and Avery while I was gone. I hope it's not too long before we get to do this again!
