Girly Girl Vacation

It was a wonderful weekend.
It was a much needed time.
We spent our time pleasing no one but ourselves,
answering only to each other,
sharing memories that will last a lifetime.
We don't understand why we are friends.
We are as different as different as can be.
So many quirks.
So much love.
I am so blessed to have friends like these!


The bench that our key and gate card was "hidden" in!
The girls stopped at the casino first, so I had a few hours to take in my new digs! 
I so enjoyed wandering around, made some guacamole, and sat on the deck!




 
Then I went fishing off of the pier.
I LOVE to fish!
I caught these two within minutes of casting out and adjusting the depth a few times!
How excited I was!
I haven't caught a fish in almost twenty years!
 
 

 
After my friends arrived at the lake,
I washed my hands...but still smelled like fish until I rubbed them
 with the lemon from my iced water at dinner ...
we all shared food at an empty restaurant, about to close,
 with a very sweet waiter who made wonderful bloody Mary's and margaritas!
 
 
 
Woke up the first morning to fog lifting off of the lake! 
I'm so glad I have such a creative loving God!


 




Yes...lounging with feet on the fold out couch.
Yes....shoes on the sheets!
AHHHHHH
Stretching ourselves!
 
 
On to town and walking and shopping and eating!
My favorite Saugatuck store....spices and teas!
Came home with a few meat rubs and strawberry/kiwi and chocolate mint teas!
Loved this bracelet!  The sign said they were designers' miniatures.
Ya...Barbie shoes from all the thrift shops!
We all know.



Walking the garden.  Always a must in any season in Saugatuck!



 
Lunch at the Butler!
Did I mention I LOST 3 pounds!!!!
 
More jewelry shopping.  Wrist and ankle bracelets.
 
One of the girly girls sashayed through a store in a very risque apron.
I'm not sharing the picture of her or telling which of us did it!
 
 
So many puppies, so little time!
Girly girl swag!  I even interrupted a woman's conversation so she could take our pic!
 
Pickle is the fire queen! 
 
Nice marshmallow/hot dog coals!
 
Leaving the next morning, it just started to lightly rain.






 
After packing the car, I noticed I had a flat. 
My friend is always prepared.
Some would say over prepared.
Never again will I ever joke with her about this quality.
These ever present ponchos made our mile walk to the gas station fun.
 
 
A quoted $55 wrecker cost  $10
A quoted $85 tire cost $10 to bead the tire I bought Friday
I was reimbursed the $30 from my mechanic!
So blessed
