Meg’s week of summer – part one!

if your friend has a beach house & she invites you to come stay with her… GO!
make all the arrangements… find places for your kids… take off work and just get there.
and if you can find friends who are hilarious, loud and bring all the fun… then you are going to be GUARANTEED a good time!

and then again.
and again.

i can’t say enough that i loved every single detail.
everything was SO pretty!

i know everyone is going to ask if this is a rental (because it’s awesome!) but it is not.

and we got to take showers outside if we wanted!
i totally loved that!
IMG_9747IMG_9748
if i am correct… we were in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
i thought i was in florida for several days so don’t call me if you have any geography questions ok?

the beach is my favorite place for a million reasons.
and if i get girlfriend time AT THE BEACH?
it doesn’t get too much better than that.
we were soaking it in… breathing deep… it was the best.

we ordered the mexican garbage because Tommy told us too.
and does a pina colada taste any better than when you’re at the beach?
nope.

this was Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding?  oh my goodness.

and then just like that it was time to go home.
sad face.

i love these girls.
so grateful to have the chance to be truly AWAY.
no craft house.  no guests.  no work.  no speaking.  no kiddos.  not even wifi!
total rest.
while laughing till i cried.

the best kind of rest.

Tiffany - That looks like perfection!

Deana - I think it’s so great to truly unplug (no wifi) and decompress with other women! So glad you got this opportunity! and PS that house is amazing!

Kelly - I don’t know what all the hashtags are but my guess is maybe inside jokes? BUT Sitka AK is one of my very most favorite places in the world. 🙂 Kelly

Stephanie - Come back Meg! We miss you!

sharon / theprincipledtype.blogspot.com - I am sooo happy for you!

Patti Mullican - Sad face this is not a rental. Gulf Shores, AL is one of my fav places of all time! Glad you had a fantastic trip! Now, I want to go back there!

stephanie - but what if you don’t have a friend that owns a beach house? Can you buy one? If you bought one than you could invite me except I get up at 4 am so it would be hard for me to laugh until 4 am but if you bought a beach house and invited me to come, I would try.

Becky - I hope you got to eat at The Original Oyster House! If not, GO BACK!! You missed something!!! Gulf Shores/Orange Beach are the beaches of my state and are so beautiful! Your friend’s home is beautiful!!

Jenny B. - That looks like SO much fun!! And, how is it that you just keep looking younger?? Seriously, I don’t know if it’s the long hair, or what! 🙂 You look great! So glad you had fun! I have to admit I’m just a tad bit jealous. 😉

Debby Graber - We vacation at Dauphin Island, which is fairly close by. We’ve thought about purchasing a vacation home down there…. Wouldn’t that be awesome!! Just a dream. I grew up looking out my bedroom window at the ocean and I would love to live there again!
So I saw in one of the pictures that I have the same dress you have, Meg. I think we must both love that French store in Wichita!

Amy Woods - Just awesome! I have a Fall retreat each year with my sisters, an Aunt, and a cousin – who are also my BFFs. Nothing like it. NOTHING.

So happy for you getting the time away!

beth larson - Hey Meg!
This looks like such a fun getaway that I can’t hardly stand it~ if each of us had a friend with a beach house like that I don’t think there would be any world wars…lol

Laughing with good girlfriends is the most healing balm in the whole world…man I’m missing mine as I type this. : )

xo, Beth

Kelly W. - Gulf Shores is our favorite place to vacation! Since we’re only about 4 hours North of there, it’s not too hard to get to. So glad you enjoyed yourself on our sandy shores!

Stephanie - You WERE basically in Florida. Lol. I live about an hour and a half east from where you were. Glad you enjoyed yourself so much in our area!

Kimberlee - Seeing all of these ladies together in this post made me miss them even more. So glad you all were able to get away together!

Heather E. - Ahhhh! You were in my neck of the woods, I live about 30 minutes from Gulf Shores! It is THE BEST and it looks like you had a blast! Beautiful beach house your friend has there!

Southern Gal - Nothing in this world like a beach and good girlfriends to share it with.

Jackie - Amazing! My husband says even a rainy day at the beach is a good one. Looks like you had fun!
