Bachelorette Party at the Beach

We had the pleasure of spending the weekend at the beach with Nicole, who is getting married in three weeks.

Six of us had a slumber party at a friend’s beach house in Laguna. It was fabulous and just what we needed. She’s getting loopy planning a wedding that will take place in Hawaii, while prepping to move into her fiance’s house. The rest of us are just road weary from the general craziness of life.

So yes, a beach house was in order and we were blessed with one that rocked. Our back door literally opened up to the sand. One whole wall was windows. We had to yell at one another when the tide was coming in because the waves were so loud. Oh yea. We could smell the sea. from the living room.

Aside from the view it was also refreshing to get to spend time together. We haven’t all been in the same room since January. Life has taken us in really different directions. So we had a great time celebrating Nicole’s single life and helping her anticipate biblically-sanctioned monkey sex. There were no cheesy pass-the-cucumber games. No kitchen gadgets. Just lots of yakking and lots of laughing. I guarantee no guy would have been safe within miles of this girliness.

There is nothing better than a weekend with the girls. We were all joking last night when we started to fade at midnight that this bachelorette party was sure different than the ones we had in our 20s. No one got drunk. There were only a few embarassing moments, but no one threw up. I promise Jenn the video will remain under lock and key.
