Ever since I can remember my mom, gram and I have gone on a girls trip every year. It usually involves shopping and when I was younger, an activity of some sort such as the zoo. This last weekend we went to Bellevue and stayed at the Hilton for two nights. Friday mom and gram me us at our house and we headed off. Thankfully both passes were bare and dry. Saturday we went to Bell Square and spent 5 hours doing pretty much just Macy's. I LOVE their Macy's. I've been really bad about spending money on myself since I've become a mommy and my clothes show it. So, with mom and gram's help, I have a new wardrobe and I don't look like one of my defendant's in court! We had lunch at the restaurant in Nordstrom's and Aniston did SO good. They had this cute little kids lunch with fruit, cheese and crackers and she was so excited to get her OWN big girl plate. She was such a trooper! After we returned to our room and napped, back to the mall we went. I was able to finish buying some clothes and then Aniston had her melt down. We pushed her a little too much and it was time for bed.
Sunday we went to Trader Joe's in Issaquah and then the North Bend Outlet Mall. We had a great time and poor Aniston slept the whole way home. The drive home was horrible. It was raining so hard that by the time we reached Cle Elum, I had mom take over driving as I was white knuckled. We ended up home around 5:00 and we were so happy to be there. Aniston stripped down to her diaper and a t-shirt and spent the evening snuggling her daddy and showing him her new "colors" (magnadoodle).
I really enjoy and treasure our girls trips. I have SO many fond memories of these times with mom and gram and now with Aniston, I hope she enjoys them as much as I do. I know she loves the hotel life and learned room service is pretty cool. Now she thinks when someone knocks on the door, it's time to eat.
