bacharlotte!

This past weekend I headed to sunny Florida to celebrate the last nights of maidenhood for my dearest friend Charlotte.  As far as bachelorette parties go, this one was a total slam dunk: just the right mix of activity and relaxation with enough bachelorette-y type festivities to check all the boxes.

Wanting to take full advantage of my trip down there, I took a red-eye Thursday arriving in Friday AM in time for brunch with Charlotte, her sisters, and her mom.  The afternoon was spent doing some ample sunning at the pool before the rest of the girls arrived that evening for a casual BBQ.  

The next morning (in true Charlotte fashion), we headed to a high-intensity work-out class decked out in matching neon t-shirts (compliments of Char's youngest sis and co-maid-of-honor).



The class involved lots of cycling...


...as well as copious exercises that have left me walking gingerly even 3 days later.

After that, we headed back to the house for a decadent brunch of eggs, toast, fruit and yogurt.

again - right up this healthy, wholesome bride's alley!

The groom's sister - who is also getting married this year and lives in LA - couldn't make it to the festivities, so she opted to surprise the bride with an extra special afternoon activity: a beach photo shoot for her and all her friends.

More (professional) pictures to come!

That evening, it was time for more traditional bachelorette activities:

Cocktails with Penis Pretzels 
(homemade by the Mother of the Bride!)


We then rented a stretch limo and headed out for an evening on the town.

The next morning people were up early for runs and walks before a relaxing yoga class and then brunch at the club.

All in all, a fabulous weekend!  Congrats Charlotte!
