Trip To Birmingham!

Tiff flew down from NC on Thursday and Friday we loaded up and headed to Birmingham. We didn’t take photos on the way, primarily because I was driving and I was tired! I tried to capture some of us actually surprising Nicole, but she didn’t come out into the bathroom like her family said she would! Plus my battery was dying and I left my charger at home! So I was skimpy on the photos! Anyway, we picked her up and headed to the Alabaster area. I needed shoes and so we went to  few shoe stores and then went to

 

Jamie was waiting there for us, and that was another surprise for Nicole.  We went right in and sat down. We all ordered something different but soon learned we should have split plates. We would have been better off! None of us ate all our food! We left there and went to Walmart to see if they had a charger for my camera and pick up some drinks. They had a charger but it was $40. I just couldn’t do that! So we headed to the hotel.

Crystal came to the hotel, but we didn’t do any pictures because we all looked rough- except for her! So we were in our pj’s and looking terrible. We were up until 3 am and the crazy hotel ladies knocked on our door at 8:20 am. Scared us all! We jumped up and were wide awake then. Then an hour later they were there for house keeping! We were like GO AWAY! Silly ladies. We didn’t have to check out until 11, so we did just that. We left from there and went to the galleria. I haven’t been there in over 10 years! It was fun. We shopped at a Lane Bryant and then headed out to the Aveda Institute for Pedicures! Jamie opted out so I could get my toes done and so she went and had her hair did. LOL. She looked great, we all wanted a fresh wash and cut after that! But we kept on going- since we had other places to go and money to spend! Amy joined us for a few hours too!

After leaving the Spa we headed to Johnny Rockets! I haven’t been there in years either! I liked the onion rings the best! Amy and Gabe had to get theirs togo- because she was going to need to be home by 3pm. So we enjoyed our meal and then headed to a fun store which will remained un named. It poured down rain! We left there and headed back to Amy’s to play games and hang out until David got home. I learned the fun game Mexican Train dominos. I enjoyed it, but like playing with them like this better! I set them up and let Gabe knock them down!

 

I loaded up on some dew- only ONE for me though. Amy and Jamie drank the other two! lol. We left from there and went to MOES. I forgot my camera in my van since I didn’t drive. So we just enjoyed our time together and then after  Moe’s, Jamie had to go back to her mom’s house, and we went over to the movies. We watched the 9:50 showing of Crazy Stupid Love. It was cute, had a few things in it that I didn’t like, but overall was still a good movie. I realized right before the movie that I left my dress bag at the Hotel so I called them before the movie and told them we would be there after 12 pm. I was so tired, so Amy drove us back to Pelham and then we went back to Amy’s house. Then headed to Nicole’s. I was so exhausted! I went to sleep fast, woke up when Nic’s kids where going to church and got up and ate oatmeal then went back to bed for a few hours! We left around 12:40 pm. Got back into Gulfport around 5:30 pm. It was a wonderful trip! I still have Tiff with me, until Tuesday around 8:00 am. Then life will go back to normal until next time! It was a wonderful weekend away! I missed my family but enjoyed the peace and quiet and tons of laughs with good girlfriends!!!
