My soon to be sister-in-law decided to go to Savannah, GA for her bachelorette weekend and while I was very excited and very much looking forward to the trip, I was nervous at the same time. We ended up with 12 girls going on the trip and I think we all had a blast. We were there St Patrick's Day weekend and Savannah really goes all out for the occasion. Basically, the town was one big party all weekend. Perfect for a bach weekend!

Since there were 12 of us and the crowds were so massive, we each had an assigned buddy to keep up with to make sure no one got lost or left behind.
Me and my buddy, Kelly.
How cute is she?!

We spent Saturday morning at the parade. It was by far the largest parade that I have ever been to and it is tradition for all the girls to wear bright lipstick and kiss the servicemen on the cheek as they are marching in the parade.
It was a great trip and I really surprised myself at doing so well being away from the girls. I only teared up one time after talking to Mallory on the phone. We did face time each night so that helped out. I got to see them and they got to see me. Patrick surprised me as well and did good with the girls while I was away. He even made it to church on Sunday with both of them...on time! I can't even get there on time! I think it was a good getaway for us all. I definitely need to plan a girls trip or take a vacation just me and Patrick at least once a year...while I love nothing more than being mama to my girls, it was nice to have a break too!

Hey, I am a service member too so next time I see you, I want a big red, wet one on my cheek too!!!!! Looks like you all had a great time. Yes, you definetely need some "alone" time with hubby once in a while. Jason and I try to do two vacations a year, one "a family" vacation, and one a "couple" vacation. It doesn't have to be a long time, even a weekend getaway will do. This year we are going to Madrid, Spain in May, no kids. I am already having anxiety attacks, but it's because, even though I travel a lot, Jason is always home with the kids. This year, Aunt Betzy is babysitting for 9 days. Pray for us!!!! ;)
