Girls Trip

This weekend, my college friends, a.k.a. "The Fockers" had our annual Girls Trip.  We were all Chi O's together at AU back in the day, and every year we get together for a weekend of 'girl time'.  We chose a winter trip this year and went to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia.  As most of you know, we got a little bit of snow in our area last week...and Blue Ridge got A LOT!!  It was adventure, to say the least!  Our whole group was able to make it, except for JJ-we missed you! 

We spent the weekend eating, talking, drinking, taking a dip in the hot tub, taking a 'nature walk', playing "Spoons", watching RHOBV and the Miss America Pageant.  It was a relaxing and fun-filled weekend.  We made the most of being snowed in and enjoyed catching up with each other.  Some of us don't see each other for a year at a time, but when we all get together, it's as if no time has passed at all.

Allison's mom let us take their minivan "Sylvia" to the mtns...we loaded it down and rolled to Blue Ridge in style!

We had to abandon the cars Friday night at the bottom of the hill...look closely through the trees..there's our cabin!


Steepest.  Hill.  Ever.  We hiked this bad boy Friday night in the dark carrying large bags and LOTS of food and drinks.  I laugh about it now, but we weren't laughing then!  We're all still a little sore from the trek.


When we reached the very top of the hill and turned to the right, this is what we saw...our pimptastic cabin!








Thanks, TT, for our super-cute shirts!!










We sat around this table for hours...talking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, etc. 


Our group is known for playing "Spoons"...it got pretty intense and poor Sydney suffered an injury!
Who will win the first game...Britt or Bess? (The 2 most competitive ppl ever!)


Brittany won!!




Girls, it sure was great to see y'all.  I'm in my Sunday depression mode now that the trip that we planned six months ago, is over.  Here's looking forward to our next trip...love y'all!

  1. Virgina, Thank you for these pictures. I am so glad Friday night we did not know what you were going through. I thought no news is good news and wrong was I.
    love,

  4. How fun! I am so jealous of the SNOW you got at your cabin! I can't think of a better place to be with some wintry powder on the ground! Looks like a blast!
