for the first time ever, i took a girls' trip last week. two of my sisters-in-law (minus 1, who was greatly missed!) and i ventured down to key west, fl and had a great time! shauna's recap and pictures can be found
here so for those who read both, i hope i am not too repetitive. (correction/modification to shauna's: as a mom, she wrote with genuine enthusiasm that we slept until 8am everyday, but i must clarify to say that we slept until 8am EST which means it was still 7am in the time zone we were all used to. :) even though that is early for me, i am probably correct in saying that 7am is still later than they are used to waking up with kids around so i completely understood their happiness in that small treasure.)
onto the trip!
from the minute the three of us were together, the fun began. we had a brief moment of fear that we might not actually have our rental car that soon turned into an upgrade to a pt cruiser! girls, why did we not ever take a picture of our sweet upgrade?! from there, we made our way out of miami, paid the tolls, and began our journey through the keys. we enjoyed the interesting sights along the way, the water on either side of the highway, and the lovely little local place we found for lunch in one of the middle keys. we were not crazy about the 45mph speed limit or the unknown of when we would finally arrive at our destination, but those small details did not deter us much as we finally arrived in beautiful key west.

our feline friend who could be found around our room most of the day!

the rest of our trip included deciding on a few local places to share our meals, swimming in the atlantic ocean (a first for me), lounging at the pool, eating delicious ice cream, and snapping some photos at the southern most point of the united states, each other, and the gorgeous sunset we got to witness in its entirety.




our last full day was mostly in miami where we attempted to go the beach, but instead took a dip in our huge hotel pool and dined on some delicious cheesecake factory for dinner.
shauna and emily: you are great sisters-in-law and teach me so much about how to be a Godly mom and wife. thanks for the laughs, deep conversations, and humor in spite of wrong turns. shauna, emily, & erin: hope we can do it again soon when all four of us can go together!
funny you should mention the part about "sleeping in" in reference to Shauna's blog because when I was reading Shauna's I was thinking to myself, I bet thats not actually sleeping in for Lindsey!!! Hahahaha! Oh the difference of life with kids vs. without!
