getaway weekend

What an amazing weekend. After planning my sister's bachelorette weekend since February, it finally happened. And everything went marvelously. The girls arrived on Thursday, four in the afternoon and one later in the evening. After having lunch at Alice's Tea Cup, we swung by my apartment so I could change into my softball clothes. Thursday was the final game of the P&G Ballbuster's season. We didn't win, but boy did we have a great time!

These gals were my best fans of the season. I played first and had a good game.

At the start of the game we were short one girl, so Mickey volunteered to play catcher until the final girl arrived. What a trooper! Mickey's favorite picture of her finance, Cory, is him playing catcher in high school, so it was only fitting that she played catcher. What a sight!

The plans were a surprise, but the hint for this was "see the best view." We ventured to the roof exhibit at the Met and had summer proscecco cocktails and frozen delights!
The line to the McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit was at least three hours long, so we decided to head back first thing on Saturday morning. Mollie and I were first in line at 8:00 a.m. and the other three girls made it just before the doors opened at 9:30. We didn't have to wait in line at all and it is beyond words, A-mazing!

We stumbled upon a limo Friday evening and had the best driver, Fabian, who drove us to and fro both Friday and Saturday nights. Such a nice surprise!

The weekend wouldn't be complete without a Bride and Maid of Honor picture. The weekend wrapped up Saturday evening with dinner at The Stanton Social and a night of lounging as VIP and dancing the night away at Marquee. Our club days might be over now, but Mickey didn't stop smiling all night. She danced the night away!

I can't thank the girls enough who traveled to New York to celebrate with Mickey and for everyone who sent gifts for the lingerie shower. My sister has the best friends a girl could ask for. It was by far an unforgettable weekend.
