Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!!

We had an amazing Girls Weekend in Minneapolis this past weekend! We headed out on Friday and made our way up to our first stop, IKEA. After a couple hours of shopping we then made it to our hotel. Which we had a 2-bedroom suite at Embassy Suites and the hotel was very nice! We decided it was time for some dinner so we headed out and got some dinner and also went to Trader Joe's to look around at their Organic foods, etc.
On Saturday morning Jenn, Ashley and myself headed down to the gym in the hotel. Which was really nice. It had great commercial grade equipment (which most hotels don't have). After a great workout we got cleaned up and had breakfast. Then it was SPA time! Meggie and I enjoyed our spa pedicures and watching the 3 bridal parties get ready for their big day! Jenn and Ashley had a relaxing massage. Then it was SHOPPING time! We were in MOA for about 6 hours! We did some good damage! We decided to head back to the hotel and relax a little before our 8:00 p.m. reservation for dinner at Fogo de Chao. Well we decided we'd open up some wine first and 5 bottles later, we had to hurry to get ready. We all got dressed up and took a cab downtown for dinner. And let me tell you, dinner was AMAZING!!! The food was unbelievable, the drinks were great, the service was outstanding and the girl talk was so much fun!! We decided that we didn't want to call it a night yet and took some advice and went to a bar called Seven. It was really nice and it had a roof-top deck area. You could see all the buildings in downtown Minneapolis. After a couple drinks we took a cab back to our hotel and called it a night.
On Sunday we got up, packed up, ate breakfast and then headed home. We stopped in Medford at the outlet mall for a short time and then made the trip back home. We had such a great time, it was so fun to get away just us girls! We all missed our hubbies and kiddos but it was a much needed mini-vacation! We want to do a trip like this every year! Thanks again Andy and Brady for an amazing Mother's Day gift!!! Love you both!!!

Here are a few pics. I have more that I'm downloading and will post those soon!
