girls weekend.

I don't think I have any male followers, except maybe my dad or my husband. That being said, I'm safe to assume my readership is female, so I need your help. I think it's safe to assume that all of you understand the absolutely necessity of some quality time with your closest girlfriends...especially when they live hundreds or thousands of miles away.


Long distance relationships are rough, whether they're with significant others or best friends. Rough in the sense that they're not necessarily easy to maintain, not in the sense that they're not worth the investment! You can't jump on some form of transportation and see them within 30 minutes. You really have to make a concerted effort to keep your friends close--either with email chains, phone calls, or even skype dates.

More importantly, there need to be visits! Even though I'm married now, it doesn't diminish just how much I value my time with my girlfriends...and thankfully my husband understands that. He encourages it, in fact. This time is especially important before any of us enter any other stages in life {like when we have children} and can't travel as easily.

All this being said, I'm working feverishly to try to pull together a girls weekend this coming President's Day weekend. And I need your help!

Here are our puzzle pieces: 

-Four of the five of us are spread across the eastern seaboard, the other is in Nevada. 
-We would ideally go some place warm, since February isn't exactly balmy in the Northeast--or Vegas for that matter.
-The city would need to keep us entertained/occupied from Friday night to Monday morning/afternoon.
-Nashville was our last destination--which was a blast!
-We're not high rollers, though we don't want to shack up in a Motel 6 {no offense...I've stayed in plenty in my day!}
-Nightlife isn't crazy important, but it would be a nice bonus...although nights as depicted in the first photo would be perfectly wonderful for me {in our jammies, hanging out, and laughing}.

Ready.

Set.

Go.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. My friends {and I!} thank you :)
