Girl's Getaway

So...


Let me preface this story.

Several years ago, when I went to school in KC at Calvary I had two wonderful friends and for the sake of curiosity lets call them V and A.

When we were in school the three of us were always together, like the Three Musketeers. We did everything together. Well, so many times wherever you go you meet people and become good friends, but once school or work or whatever, once it is over, you never see the person again.

The three of us made a pact that we would not lose contact with one another. At the time we were very serious about this pact. And even though now, having a pact like that sounds sort of silly, we are taking it seriously.

This last weekend, Labor Day, we planned our first ever " " scouts girl's getaway.



Sadly A wasn't able to make it to our reunion and she was terribly missed, but V and I had a fantastic time.



What would girls have a fun time doing? you might be asking yourself.

No... not finding cute boys

Take a guess...shopping and talking, what else.


Having never really been to our destination before...Eureka Springs, AR we were both excited, but not really sure what to expect.
It was such a cute little town. It looked sort of like a smaller version of New Orleans. Some of the buildings were set up to make you feel like you were on Bourbon Street. One exception, this is a super huge biker town... did you know that. We sure didn't until we got there...


One of our favorite stores was Bath Junkie. We went to bath Junkie three days in a row. They have some great products and it is all made right then and there. So no perservatives and gross stuff to put on your skin. Also, you can pick whatever smells you want and whatever product. AWESOME...(just a quick sales pitch=)

We also walked around the antique stores (neither Valerie nor I have done much antique shopping)



It's kind of weird, but a lot of the shops had some really cool glasses. We could be models, right?!, especially since the price tags are still on there.

There was also a really fun vintage resale shop where we found these mermaid looking, sequin styling, black stretchy pants.


Most every evening, except one we wanted to be ladies of leisure so that means, of course, ordering in every night. We got delivery to our room. That was awesome. We didn't even have to leave the hotel.


Is that the height of laziness or what.


As you can see we had a great time and by looking at this picture you can tell the vacation did me good!
