I'm heading off for a girl's weekend with my mom, Robyn, Lori and Amy. We're going to have approximately 48 hours of no responsibility, no kids, no groove busters and no phone calls (weeha!). (These pictures are from a girl's night we had a year and a half ago.)
This trip was our Mother's Day gift for her this year, and happily coincides with her 60th birthday (which is Saturday). So please wish us well, we're new to girl's weekends and are bringing a lot of stuff with us so we know what to do with ourselves.
I tried to interest Randy in returning as the Interim Blogger, but he's not too keen on the idea. I have no idea why, isn't blogging a glorious thing? Why wouldn't he want to wield the power of the keyboard while I am away? I don't have a clue.

Have a great time!
My family does not do this- we all live too far away :(
I hope you get loads of creative time, good food, & conversation.
Oh, have fun!!! I hope you have a GREAT time, can't wait to read all about it!
And I hope Randy changes his mind...his posts while you were in Paris were so fun to read, tell him heis a GREAT interim blogger and we miss him :)
OOHHHH!!! You know how I would love this! I am all about the Sistas weekend each year! (mom comes too!) but it is GLORIOUS to get out of the yucky weather and head south. FANTASTIC to share that time with your sistas! - hmmm, what do we do? It is different each year - movies, eating, laughing, eating, laughing - nothing too exciting but we have a grand time! Can't wait to hear about your adventure!
SAD that Randy isn't blogging while your gone. I had a great time reading while he stepped in for you!
we just got back from a girls' trip to the beach - me, my sister, my mom, my aunt (mom's sister) & carly. we frequently joke that we don't know what we would have done if I would have had a boy (he probably would have been dragged along with all the girls). we eat, talk, read, laugh, watch movies or girly t.v., play games, or just hang out together.
enjoy each other and have fun.
Sounds like pure bliss!! Have a great time!
Girls' weekends are the best!! We watch movies, eat, talk, laugh, play cards, shop, and just lounge. Dee-lightful! I hope you all have a great time.
I love that picture of all of you. I remember seeing it before on your blog!
Enjoy your weekend! Have lots of fun! I am sure you will find tons to do :o)
the only real girls weekend i've ever done was the moab half with bloggers i hadn't met before. it was awesome and consisted of running and eating and laughing. :)
have a great time!!!! i am so excited for you!!!
C'mon Randy, if Kim could blog while I was out with a hand impaired by surgery than you can too!
Thanks for the birthday wish and gift.
Girls' weekend? I wish! My family does not do things like that. Ever. I think Kacey and Kim Sue's family must have it down to a science - I think they do a whole girls' week at the beach every year.
We don't, but it sounds wonderful to have a night off even if you don't do anything special.
I'd go to youth conference again for some time off.
Everything I thought about typing regarding a girl's weekend with family members was not good...but I am also heading out for a girls' weekend tomorrow (with friends!) and I am really looking forward to it.
I'm taking books and scrapbooking stuff and my swimsuit. One of the other gals is bringing movies I know. Mostly it will be great to be ME and relax! :) Have fun!
My husband's family does girls' weekends...BUT THEY DON'T INVITE SISTER-IN-LAWS. Sniff.
Have fun & give us a full report upon return! I'm curious to know where you're going & what you'll do!
Your mom looks FABULOUS at 60!!! How comforting for you to know that you have those aging genes!
Have so much fun! My family hasn't done that yet, someone always has a nursing baby or a too busy husband. Since Dave and his bro& Dad went on their big excursion though, I am planning one this fall or spring. When I have done girlfriends weekend (except the ones to NYC) we usually squeeze some sort of craft in. It's my favorite souvineer. Also, there is always a lot of shopping and eating of relaly good food involved!
Where are you guys going?
I am an only child, so mine would be rather quiet.
Have a BLAST! Talking, eating, giggling, eating, laughing, sightseeing, eating...
My family has been doing this for about 11 years or so and we love it. We have go to Wa, San Franciso, Door County WI, Lake Geneva WI, Shipshawanee IN, Nauvoo IL, Chicago, Holland MI. The only rule we have is: no children unless they are breat feeding. We're going to have to decide at what age the kids get to come. I think either 18 or 21 or after they get married.
We do a lot of laughing, shopping, eating, did I mention laughing? We play games and visit, oh yea and eat, sight see. We do a little of everything.
Enjoy and have fun.
have a wonderful time.
my family does not do this so again i say you are one lucky gal!
it is so nice i am sure to have robin back in the country so that you can all be together.
Come on Ralphie! (I mean Randy)
I hope you guys have a great weekend... how could you not?
well I suspect why Randy won't interim while you are gone. Hey I wished we did this, it is not even considered. I am here with my sister in law we are about to head out to the disney hotel to swim in their pool, but to get all the girls together, only on christmas....and never alone! Maybe there is a good idea there. Have fun fun fun, I got your e mail, and thanks for the help~
and oh, I forgot to say, but your mom is amazing. Look at her, she looks like she is 30ty! wow...that is cool...she always takes care of her body, that is one thing I would like to start doing. FAST!
Sounds like fun, I wish my family would do that. I want to know your moms beauty secrets! She looks great!!!
Have a great time!!!
Have fun! What a great idea and gift to give your mom. I just went on my first girls trip with friends. We scored a deal at a spa to get pedicures and massages. Lots of lounging and shopping! We were quite happy!
When I first saw your pictures, I thought: What kind of crazy cold weather are they dealing with down there? Ha!
Have a good time . . .
Oh, yay! My mom and I are doing a similar thing next week, and I am so excited! I hope you have a fantastic time!
The pictures are beautiful.
Hope you gals are having fuN!
I've always loved that picture of all of us and the one of you and your mom.
What a great time! I love Park City and it's been a while since I've been up there. I was just thinking the other day that I want to go up sometime. Good times.
And hey, shouldn't Robyn have been finished with the Book Thief the week before?
