Weekend with the Ladies

A couple of weeks ago we had a Book Club "retreat". We had so much fun! First we stopped at the PC outlets for a little shopping after dinner at the Loco Lizard. It was great shopping with other women. I loved trying on clothes and having every one's opinions (which helped me score a great outfit :)). I think we were surprised how much time we spent there, but we were having too much fun to stop.



Notice the two with the bag of M&M's! ;)

Then we headed to Midway. Sarah's in laws have a beautiful home up there. There was enough sleeping room for everyone. We slipped into our jammies and brought out the munchies! I ate a dozen

(plus or minus) of Julie's awesome mint brownies. Of course we did discuss our book a little, but the rest of the night was spend chatting and laughing, then munching some more.


One last hoorah!

The next morning started off with Alisa's yummy french toast breakfast, complete with fresh fruit and Canadian bacon. After we were all ready to go we went to a local boutique for some final shopping.

A few of us stopped at Zuppa's when we got back for some lunch. I had the yummiest mushroom soup! I can't wait to frequent that place this winter!

Well, there are the highlights. It was very fun ladies, and I can't wait until next time!

The m&m's note made me laugh. That really was a great retreat! Shopping, eating, hanging out with awesome gals. Thanks for letting me be a part! I can't wait for Thursday night!
Hey, if people don't have time to do a full-out retreat over the winter, let's all meet at Zupa's for dinner! Yum.
