Girls weekend in Seattle!

The high school girls at the infamous bar in Issaquah! Some of us have been friends since 3rd grade!

Last weekend, I had such a great, fabulous weekend in Seattle. I went ALL BY MYSELF!! I know- it was a one of a kind trip. I didn't even know how to act in the airport without my 3 children running, screaming and wanting everything! I was able to go through the "no kid" line in security and I read my book without ever looking up during the flight (well except for the last 15 minutes when I almost wet my pants- I had to have some memory of my children).

My weekend was great, fabulous, wonderful and did I mention I had the time of my life? Did I mention I traveled ALONE???

When I got to Seattle, my mom picked me up from the airport and we drove straight to the mall to shop and eat lunch (what more could a girl want?) We had lunch at Cheesecake Factory and then met Heather (my best friend from high school) to go shopping. We shopped at lots of fun, new places, but we also went to the traditional ones too!

We soon left my mom and headed to Mexican food with Heather's husband and 3 adorable children! After returning to her house, we rummaged through all of our great buys and compared notes.

The next morning we woke up, had coffee and headed out the door to get my very first pedicure (yep, first ever!!) It was wonderful and we had such a great time talking, laughing and watching the Ellen show- it was hard to leave. But we were on a time crunch- since we had a lunch date with our old friend, Martina. We had lunch with her and sat and chatted for a bit. Then off to shopping, shopping, shopping in Issaquah! When I first moved to Issaquah there wasn't even a stop light- now it is a real city with Target, Costco and lots of fun shops! We had a blast trying on clothes, purses and looking at kids clothes! We even stopped for coffee! Our next stop was Pogatcha's for dinner with the high school girls. One might think we would be tired- but we were ready for a party! We had a fabulous, yummy dinner with great conversation until the band started. Then our conversation became a screaming match- so we decided to head for the infamous Issaquah bar- the Joker! I was dying to see someone from high school!

In the pouring down rain- we headed to the Joker. We had a good time (we FINALLY saw someone we went to high school with)- had some beer, but then we started to fade!!

The next day was the day to celebrated Heather's big birthday- she was turning 34! We were also going to watch her little boy play his soccer game and then head to Salmon Days in Issaquah. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain- so we watched the game then headed to Mexican food for lunch. (almost as good as Salmon Days:) ) Then off for more shopping!!

All of our fun had to come to an end when they took me to the airport. I got on the plane and flew home! However, I was very excited to be greeted at the door by my 3 wonderful children and great husband!

What a great weekend- one I will remember and cherish forever! I am thankful for the great friends I have back in Seattle- but also thankful for my wonderful friends Ihave here in Idaho!
