How Girls' Weekends Are Different.

Our guy friends have been on a lot of trips/guys' weekends. Dereck, Jon and Kenneth love to recount their adventures in NYC, South Beach, Jamaica, and LA over the past couple years. They usually have a game or special event that they are going to attend, and then they spend a lot of a time out on the town.

Our girls' weekend was really different and in really good ways. After staying up late visiting and catching up on each others lives, we slept in until nine or ten. Girls that woke up first read in bed or on the balcony because we are all avid readers. We had plenty of breakfast food, and Saturday and Sunday we put together great morning meals. Kate is a pro at bacon, and we ate enough bacon that the condo smelled like sweet grease the whole time we were there no matter what we did to air it out.


Sunday morning, Erica suggested cooking the eggs a little different. I got resourceful with juice glasses, english muffins and more bacon. I sliced up the fruit real small, Erica style, and we tossed it in bowls with yogurt. Homemade egg sandwiches with shredded cheese on top. This is what we ended up with for breakfast...


Of course I ate mine with Diet Coke. It goes very well with vacations and breakfast.

No one was in a hurry to get up from breakfast. With a great view of the ocean and good storytellers, there was no need to hurry anywhere. Here we are laughing. We did a lot of laughing. My friends are funn-y. I don't think that boys laugh this much on their weekend trips. OR eat this well. Not without Erica and I along anyways.


And then we took long walks on the beach. It's not just a cheesy pickup line - it is really good for the soul. We laughed some more, told more stories, and enjoyed the view. We had almost the whole beach to ourselves. I do not think guy trips involve hour long strolls on the beach. Or pictures taken with the timer.


I would not trade one single minute of this weekend for a night on the town like the guys. You would choose our kind of vacation too, with the good food and conversation and laughter. And long walks on the beach.
