Girls Weekend

This past weekend was my first weekend away from Sammy for a girls weekend in Gualala, CA. I left friday after work for my 3 1/2 hour long drive. It was absolutely beautiful driving up highway 1. Windows down, heater on, radio blaring = awesome. The last 49 miles of the trip was super curvy highway so needless to say, even though I was driving, I was car sick when I arrived. Once I found the house...so began my weekend!

I found that you can only relax so much when your a BFing mommy but even still, my girls just saw my boobs a couple times throughout the weekend (once when they asked how swollen my nipples were after a power pump, lol). I pumped the moment I got there and then hopped in the hot tub to enjoy 2 glasses of wine and some kind of vodka drink my friend said I was required to take. Shockingly my low tolerance for alcohol wasn't affecting me and I was not the one throwing up in the wee hours of the morning. I was however the first one up each morning as my alarm clock (rock hard breasts) went off.

Saturday was spent doing absolutely nothing, the most we did was run to the store for bloody mary ingredients to help said early morning thrower upper. Only one of us even showered so the group felt her job well done counted for us all. Can I say though, sitting around doing nothing is fabulous! We played a couple games, talked for hours and I whirled them all with my magically tricks of pumping with no hands. I actually got several compliments on my great commitment to BFing, which was super nice to hear.

As much as I missed Steve and Sammy, this was a much needed weekend of nothing and I am so glad I went. I have been recharged. Not to mention, there is nothing better than coming home to two smiling faces that love and appreciate you. We are already planning girls weekend for next year!

PS I would have pictures but what happens in Gualala....doesnt get caught on my camera because I left it for DH who didn't take a single picture of Sammy all weekend. Boo! I'll update when my friend finally posts hers to FB.
