This weekend the fabulous four girls went on our biannual girls weekend! The weekend started off on Friday night when Karen and I went to Jacksonville to spend the night with Debs. Saturday morning we were up and at Jan's place to pick her up by 9:00 and after a quick stop at Starbucks we were on our way to St. Marys, Ga. I honestly don't even know how I stumbled across St. Marys on the internet but I'm glad I did because it reminded me of a mini-Savannah. I absolutely fell in love with Savannah when we went there last November for our girls weekend.
We had such a great time in St. Marys! We got there Saturday morning and looked around at the shops down by the river. At noon we headed over to Lucky Dawgs to watch the Gator game. It was a cute little place with a Key West theme. We were successful in getting them to turn all four televisions in the place to the Gator game...don't forget - we were in Georgia and accomplished this feat! :-) After the Gators dominated Vanderbilt we left to check into our hotel room. Unfortunately, someone extended their stay and the hotel was forced to upgrade us to a suite for the same price as the double room that I booked. Darn!! :-) We had a dining room, kitchen with a stove and full size refrigerator, a washer/dryer, and then there was the bedroom. We had so much space! :-)
We left after getting settled into the room and did a little more shopping and then ate dinner down by the river. The restaurant where we had dinner didn't have much of a dessert selection so we walked down to another restaurant and we each ordered our desserts and we sat and talked and ate and laughed until we cried. It was fantastic!! Such a fun night!!
Sunday morning we had some Belgian waffles for breakfast and then headed out to a few places where I wanted to take pictures before we left. One of the places where we went was an old cemetery. I don't usually randomly go to cemeteries and take pictures but it was the history of this cemetery that appealed to me. We saw graves of Confederate soldiers and the grave of a Revolutionary War soldier! I was totally fascinated!
After that we headed back to Jacksonville because Jan had a baby shower that she had to head to but Debs, Karen, and I did a little more shopping before Karen and I left to head home.
It was such a great weekend!!!
