If you're going to do it... Do It RIGHT!

It was Thursday afternoon.... I was checking a few last work emails when the phone rang.  It was Sara. She said she was in my driveway. It's time to go!
We hopped in the super cool minivan (loaded with a few bags, beach chairs, and some groceries...and several bottles of wine) and were on our way to Peachtree City to pick up the rest of our PARTY! By 4:30pm, we were on 85 headed to our little slice of heaven.  All four girls have a deep love for the 30A area and we were soooooo excited to start our long GIRLS ONLY weekend at the beach! From the first minute, it was a PERFECT trip! It was such a laid back and easy group! The place we stayed was perfect, the things we did were perfect, the quiet was perfect and the FOOD WAS PERFECT!
So...when I say if you are going to do it...then do it right! We did it RIGHT!
We rolled in (belting out Ice Ice Baby) around 9:00pm (beach time!). We went straight to George's in Alys Beach for dinner. The waitress pretended that she couldn't seat us because it was too late. We just stood there and refused to believe that would happen. And...it worked! She came back and gave us a "perfect" table outside on the patio! We shared two bottles of yummy wine, a bowl of fried shrimp, a bowl of fried oysters and grouper, lobster quesadillas and crab fritters! (Yep...it was as good as it sounded) We left there full and happy and headed to our townhome. We RUSHED and got into our pjs and grabbed a couple of chairs and headed to the beach. It was a GORGEOUS night.... we sat and talked about how "perfect" it was. There were more stars than we had ever seen! It was perfect! (My head was a little foggy the next morning...but I managed to push through!)
It was rainy most of the day on Friday, but we managed to have a great breakfast and lots of good coffee time. We went on a long walk on the beach and even got some time to sit out there before it stormed again. The good part about the weather is that it was just not too hot! We came in and took naps and then got ready to go out to dinner! We headed to Bud and Alley's upstairs bar and looked around for a table. I know you wont believe this...but we got a "perfect" spot at the corner of the bar! (things just kept falling into place!) We had plenty of room and giggled and laughed through TWO orders of peel n' eat shrimp, sweet potato fries and tuna dip! YUMMY! We walked around Seaside for a little bit after dinner and then headed back to get in pjs and laugh hysterically over the new Cosmopolitan magazine (I can NOT believe people read that without giggling!)
Saturday was gorgeous and not too hot! WE spent the WHOLE day on the beach and none of us got too sunburned ("Perfect", right?!) We headed to Red Bar in Grayton Beach that night (we really ate at all the best places) and it was 4 orders of crab cakes for our table! It did not disappoint and we all enjoyed our dinner! We also enjoyed the really great (CUTE!) waiter we had that night! Again... we were giggling! We went back and walked around Seaside and came back to talk and have another glass of wine!
Sunday we got up...packed up the van and had one more yummy meal! We ate at "Another Broken Egg" in Grayton! It was yummy and we even had some interesting people watching there too!

It was an amazing and relaxing trip! Thanks so much to my parents and Steven for being so great to let me escape for a few days! I had no idea how much I needed it or how great it could be! Just "Perfect"!
