Girls weekend in Seattle

Super early on Friday morning, I, along with 3 of my friends--Beka, Shauna, and Jaycee-- headed off to Seattle for a fun-filled 36-hour girls trip to Seattle. We left the husbands, kids and/or pets at home. It was just the girls. Thanks to Beka's husband, Bill, who works for Horizon Airlines, we got to fly for practically nothing. Plus, Bill was able to get us upgraded to 1st class on the way there! It was so much fun! We LOVED the perks that come with 1st class- a meal on a 90 minute flight, served on a fancy (and warm) plate with real silverware, a real glass- not plastic, a fancy cloth napkin and placemat, and a yummy breakfast. The other 1st class passengers looked at us like we were crazy, but we were already having the time of our lives and we hadn't even landed in Seattle yet.


We arrived around 8:30am, so we had all day to spend as we pleased. We shopped, ate, laughed so hard we cried, saw the sites, got pedicures, and laughed some more. We laughed so much that when I woke up this morning, my throat actually was a bit sore and I could hardly talk.But, it was SO worth it! The weather was sunny and beautiful. We scored a great deal at The Edgewater, a 4-star hotel, on Priceline. Located right on Elliott Bay, we had an amazing view. Speaking of amazing views, we went to the top of the Space Needle and could see the entire city

We love getting pedicures!

Late Friday night, we happened to stumble upon a fantastic local Seattle artist, Mycle Wastman. He was playing at the hotel lounge and we all LOVED his music. We were treated to a free concert & had a great time. We were definitely sad to say goodbye to Seattle and come home to the real world. We had so much fun that we decided to make this an annual event. I can't wait for our next girl's weekend. Thanks girls- I had a blast!

Here are some more pictures from our trip:
