Laughter, Sunshine and Fun

I was all smiles, luggage in hand and wandering through the Jacksonville airport in search of my friends. I always love the hugs and excitement that comes from greeting a friend or loved one at the airport. You know......the slow motion movie style run towards your loved one. I had spotted them. They were there. All smiles just like me. It had been way too long since I had seen them!

Let's rewind a few hours:

In the wee hours of Friday morning I found myself restless. I was waking up every few hours and hoping to get back to sleep. All I kept thinking was, "I don't need to be tired today." My alarm was suppose to go off at 4am and it was merely 1:45 and I wasn't tired!! If you know me and many of you know me quite well, when I can't sleep I get very....less just say irritated. I toss and turn, huff and puff, get up, get water, lay back down, try to sleep. Well, it didn't work. I was up at 2am, with no hope of sleeping until 4. I was just to excited about my weekend.

At 6am I was headed to Detroit and then on to Jacksonville. I had never had a girls weekend where I have flown anywhere. Of course I have flown in for weddings and stuff but this was different. This was our weekend!

We had such a nice time. Having dinner together, dancing, kayaking in St. Augustine, and watching Sex and the City while drinking cosmos and of course being our silly selves.

Here is our weekend in pictures:
