Jessica's Shower and Bachelorette Trip

While I was home for the twin's birthday, we had Jessica's wedding shower. She of  course was a beautiful bride-to-be.  The decorations were rustic, which is the theme of her wedding and we put together a few of her favorite finger foods. It's hard to believe that the long awaited day is quickly approaching. But we are all ready for her to became Mrs. Watson!

February flew by and before I knew it, I was headed back home for the Bachelorette Trip to Gulf Shores.  Since Lee could not get off work and Arlee (obviously) could not go with me, my parents graciously took vacation time and stayed at the house. I'm not sure who enjoyed the trip more...me, the grandparents, or Arlee....lol 

It was another long trip but my GPS took me through Branson and the drive was beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the alone time and  took full advantage of  K-Love singing to the top of my lungs and listening to a few inspiring CD's. I felt like my soul had been revived and I had been on a spiritual retreat before I ever started my girl's trip. 

I stopped at Sarah's house that evening and we loaded everything up in her van and took off early the next morning. The other girl's left the night before, so they could take full advantage of the beach.

We stopped for lunch at the best little Greek spot! Wow, was the hummas dip amazing..

Once we finally made it to our destination, the girls were coming back from the beach to start getting ready for a night full of fun.

We put our matching Mer'maid shirts on and grabbed our wigs and headed out for dinner...

                                                       

After a fun night out we went to the hotel for face masks, cupcakes and presents for Jess...the face masks were a very bad painful  idea!

The next day was beach day so of course Sarah and I had to do a Walmart run first..lol

The older I getvhe more I realize I should have lived near the beach. Its my happy place for sure!

The cute little Captian...

It was a great trip but I sure wish I could have been on the beach a whole lot longer! The next time we all meet up will be the wedding weekend!
