Girls' Road Trip!!

Early Friday I hit the road with some friends from college for a true girls’ weekend road trip to Alexandria, La. Our friend Lauren lives there, and since she now has a 9-month-old, it’s much harder for her to make plans for girls’ trips. So…. We just decided this time we’d bring the trip to her!

She and her husband just bought a fabulous new house with a gorgeous pool, so when planning our next trip back in April, we decided this would be a perfect weekend getaway. And it definitely was!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a road trip without missing a turn in the middle of backwoods Louisiana and ended up at a gas station that could totally be seen in a horror movie, as seen below…

And of course it wouldn’t be a road trip without getting a speeding ticket in the midst of a speed trap in the TOWN of Olla, La., (it was a town, not even a city) given by the Chief of Police himself. Allison tried really hard to talk her way out of it, but when your town has a population of 80 people, I guess the police chief gets most of his excitement in the form of traffic violations.

Other than that, our trip was pretty uneventful. We had a fabulous time at Lauren’s house and spent most of our time in the pool, with the exception of a nice dinner out (delicious food, but terrible service) Saturday night. After dinner, we surprised Christy with a birthday cake in honor of her 30th birthday this week. Happy Birthday, Christy!!

We may not be as wild and crazy as we used to be, but we still know how to have a good time. I LOVE these girls and can't go but just a few months without seeing them! Sadly, Brooke couldn’t join us this weekend, so the group was incomplete, but other than that, we had a wonderful time.
Let’s start planning the next one!!!
