Girls Weekend

The tradition stretches back to the good old days living on Kenmore St. in Arlington, VA when Amy, Ami, Erika, and I were all roomies. A St. Patrick's Day road trip to Savannah, GA turned into a future of girls getaways. As life was leading us down different paths with new adventures (New Orleans, California, marriage) we decided that each year we needed to have a girls weekend with fun new adventures together. So minus a year off here and there for weddings and babies I'm glad to say that each trip just gets better and better, and this year was no exception!

Thanks to the Murphy's for buying an amazing second home in the mountains, it gave us the perfect getaway for our annual girls weekend! Their cottage is secluded in the woods of Saluda, NC just outside of Asheville. It's so peaceful, quite, and gorgeous that is until the sun goes down and I get extremely paranoid of all those serial killers hiding in the woods ;) Minus being too scared to enjoy our blazing campfire outside it was the absolute perfect weekend! We stopped at all the little amazing shops around town, enjoyed live music over dinner, hiked to a picturesque waterfall, pampered ourselves at the spa, sipped champagne in the hot tub with the Blue Ridge mountains as our backdrop, and just chatted and laughed the whole weekend long! I wish we had a whole week there, it was just too good to be true!
