Treat Yo'Self

Treat Yo'Self....the title of our girls weekend to surprise Amy in North Carolina!  What a fun weekend we had even though it was only a day.  We met up to leave on Saturday morning and got dressed in our shirts!

Then we got on the road bound for Charlotte, North Carolina.  The best part of the ride up...our stop at a new QT that had $0.19 pastries!  Yum!  Once in Charlotte, we called to let Ben know we were near and he told us Amy had just gotten home so we drove up to surprise her!!

You can't see her face in the picture, but she was surprised!  Success!!  We told her to pack, change shirts, and we were taking her away for the night.

All ready for a fun girls night!  On the way to the hotel we did see a sign guy that was really enjoying his job!  He entertained us at the red light with all his tricks!

Before we checked into the hotel we made a stop by the outlet mall for some shopping and even some time to "treat yo'self."  But since we're all mothers, who did we shop for most...our children!  :)  After checking into our hotel we headed out for dinner at Mama Ricotta's.  Definitely the best Italian I've ever had and even better that we were able to order family style and share different meals!  For dessert we headed to the Crepe Cellar.  A crepe with Nutella, bananas, and strawberries is absolutely delicious!!  We're such crazy girls that we went back to the hotel and just hung out and talked, but definitely had a great time!

Sunday morning we enjoyed breakfast in the hotel and a little time together before we had to drop Amy off.  It went by quickly, but it was nice to have a short break from all of the mommy responsibilities.  We definitely have the best husbands who take such great care of our kids!!

Many, many thanks to Mandy for organizing an extremely fun and memorable weekend!
