Girls Weekend

On Friday me and my friend Allison took off to Lincoln City for a weekend away. Can I just say that we have awesome husbands!
We both forgot one of these. What a bummer!

On our way out of town we stopped here to get some Christmas shopping done. We shopped right through dinner so...



we stopped and ate at a Mexican food restaurant to please our rumbling tummy's. Our plan was to eat as cheap as possible, so we used a buy one get one free coupon.



Then we stopped here to get some more Christmas shopping done. We found that it was overpriced. Weird I know, but very true. Is it the economy? I swear that Target has better prices.



The real purpose of our trip was to have 5 hours to watch Pride and Prejudice uninterrupted.





We stayed up until 2:00 a.m and watched half. I slept through the last hour. I must be getting old. Allison was a trooper and stayed awake. We finally went to bed and slept until 10:00 that morning and then watched the last half of the movie, plus the hour that I slept through. I am a Mr. Darcy fan!







We finally got out of the house and ate breakfast/lunch at 2:00 in the afternoon. We used a buy one get one free Whopper coupon. I don't remember the last time I ate a Whopper. YUM!






After lunch we headed off to the outlets. I didn't find much, which I'm sure Matt was happy about. After shopping for a few hours it was time to go home to our families. I had a blast and arrived home refreshed and renewed. Thanks for the good times Allison!

How fun!! You do have wonderful husbands. I also think that Target is cheaper than Walmart plus the stuff that you buy is higher quality products!

Fun! I've sent C. off on a week at the beach with one of her close friends a couple of times now. It's good to get away and recharge your batteries once in a while, isn't it? I guess I get that on my business trips, but then I'm... well... working.
