Eating and Sleeping... A Girl's Weekend!

This past weekend I was a little quiet with blogs, facebook and twitter. And hubby and the little dude had plenty of male bonding time while I headed to Brooklyn (I know... real far) for a fabulous girls weekend. That's right, no kids (well just four fetuses in my 3 pregnant friends' tummies) and no husbands (well except for one who did join us for part of the day on Saturday). And for me, no one to take care of but my damn self! For two whole nights!

Now even though I only had to travel 8 miles to Brooklyn, the other girls traveled from Minnesota, DC, NJ, CT and Massachusetts to get together in NYC. I arrived on Friday night, and we pretty much laid low as everyone trickled in. We had some Thai food, wine, and chatted! Don't you just love doing that with your girlfriends? We laughed and stayed up way too late!

But it felt great to sleep as long as I wanted on Saturday morning (I got up around 8:45 literally the latest I have slept in 20 months) and to take a nice, hot shower. We all had a small breakfast and some coffee and headed out for the main activity of the trip: AN ALL DAY, TWO-BOROUGH, NYC FOOD CRAWL! Okay I have to give the food crawl its own separate post tomorrow, but needless to say, much food was consumed (again three of my friends are pregnant, one with twins, and well, we all like to eat!).

Saturday night, still in a bit of food coma, we ventured out a party. And not one that begins at 10 AM and takes place in some brightly colored gym! One that didn't even get going until around 10 PM although some of us left by 11!

Sunday morning when I woke, I could not wait to get home to my guys! They had a fun time without me, and I think hubby was super proud that he could care for C all that time. And I am of course proud of both of them! I really needed this trip to relax and just reconnect with the friends who know me best.

Stay tuned for more on the food crawl... but here is a sneak peak...
