This past weekend, we sisters/sisters-in law had wonderful plans to get away for a girls weekend. Now this is usually something that gets talked about frequently, but rarely ever actually done. But the idea was out there, and we decided that if we could get four to commit, we were off - well we managed that, so the hotel was booked, and plans began. The weekend arrived and off we went - and then the bumps in the road began. We had plans to drive up in two different vehicles b/c of the way things worked out. We were on our way, when we got the call that Beth had been in an accident. She got rear ended and although she was mostly fine, her car was totalled and she would definitely not be able to join us any more. So that put a damper on things. But we were very thankful to the Lord that He kept her safe, though she is/was very sore. So Kate all of the sudden needed to tag up with us, so that she wouldn't have to travel by her lonesome. Well she made it - but not before being pulled over by a cop for major speeding!!! But she was let off, (not sure exactly how the sob story went, but I bet it was good:)), and the four of us were on our way.
After checking in and getting organized (very NEATLY), we began some sightseeing. It seems like too often when we go to the Falls, we don't actually see them, b/c it is 1)very cold and 2) parking is always a hike away if you want to pay a decent price. But it wasn't terribly cold, and we were prepared, so off we went.
The Falls were beautiful as always.The three sisters.
Kate, Mel, and Mare
Of course there are lots of touristy things along the way . . . .
. . . inside a hotel that you could just walk through and which had a HUGE waterpark in. Looked like fun - but very busy.
Mel was the lucky candidate for this one.
Kate almost got attacked by this dude's chin thingy. 
We did lots of shopping, relaxing, hanging out, soaking, swimming, eating, staying up far too late, and just having fun.
Shopping:)
And the end.
Carrie and Beth - we missed you. Hopefully you can both make it next time - we're already making plans for 2020 - which is when the hubbies said we are allowed to go next - once every ten years. It's so nice that they love us;).

How fun! How nice to have a girls getaway...maybe your hubbies will relent and let you go every 5 years? ;)
ReplyDeletehow fun! my sisters are planning on coming here this weekend and we're hoteling it and shopping too.
ReplyDeleteI hope homeschooling is going well for you. I am enjoying it now that I have figured out how to balance teaching two and keeping Jude caged :) somedays are better than others of course.
Caleb likes seeing what Kevin is up to on the blog too
That was soo much fun. We are definitly going to have to do that again. Unfortunately not for 10 years though... maybe if we annoy them enough it can be sooner. :) Good times. We definitly should have bought those giant shoes for dress up!!!

Ha ha!! I noticed you cut yourself out of that picture! But what you don't know is that Mare posted all these goofy pics on facebook :) So everyone can STILL see you looking way to cool :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to our rendezvous in 2020 :D Twas a real good time!
I think your hubbies should go easier on you all and let you go every year or at least every other year!! Everyone needs a great girls weekend to refresh you and let loose and have fun! Looks like you all had a great time!!!
