Faith.Love.Family: Mandatory Trip

Ok Ok it wasn't mandatory but I think that moms should have weekends with their friends away from all reality!!! The one thing I love about my three best friends is that we make it one of our biggest priorities to put a get together on the calendar twice a year. I am sure if you asked our husbands they would say it feels like we do it much more often and if you ask us we would say we need to do it much more often :-).

This time we went to Ft Lauderdale to meet Mr Matthew Cottler. What a cutie his is!!!

A few cuddles from each of us and off we went to stay at the Boca Beach Resort. Honestly I am not sure we knew exactly what we were getting from this place when we booked. When we pulled up and saw the fancy cars pulling in we had to laugh and wonder if these 4 loud girls (who like to bum around in PJ's) would fit in. Somehow we managed and I believe it may be on our favorites list.

Thanks to Ami's hubby who was able to get us such a good rate with his Hilton Rewards and the awesome room upgrade. Since this was a resort they said we would have to pay $40 extra per person per night so we decided to do the high school thing and tell them there were only two of staying. Valet was our only option for our cars and with a place like this it is customary to let the bell hops take your bags and bring them to your room. Ami, with several attempts, told them we could get our bags. Honestly you would have thought that since we were only staying for 2 days that there wouldn't have been a lot of stuff but don't kid yourself it looked like we were moving in. Finally, we got her to cave and let them help us with our bags. He kept asking her "all of this stuff?". Yup all of this just for the two of us ;-) ;-)! Once we were checked in Ami took a line drive towards the rolling cart trying to beat the bell hop to it so she could just take it herself. Once she realized she was not going to win she decided to walk as fast as she could with the bell hop and leave us behind. Not sure if she was trying to avoid the question if all of us were staying in one room or if it was because Dawn was laughing so loud that the walls were vibrating.

This was only the beginning of some good laughs, great talks, and one more weekend that we filled with wonderful memories!!! Its been 20+ years of friendship...can't wait to see what we are doing in 20 more years.
