gton on Friday. We took out leisurely time and arrived around 12:15AM. We then hung out with Sara and Chris's sister, Angela, that night and stayed up talking till about 4AM at Sara's house. We really had a grand ole time. This was Maddie's first weekend away from Joshua James, so she was a free woman again. In the late hours Maddie began telling us stories she reads to Joshua James, but all by memorization. I think that was a mixture of all the tiredness and the Champagne (probably more of the latter). I think she needed this weekend away :) Needless to say that was a great night to start off our weekend. 
Saturday morning I was the last one to wake up around 10:30AM; I know what a surprise. That day we had some breakfast and a late light lunch. It was a rainy day, so one of those days we were in our pajamas until about 3pm. At that time we all decided it was time we stop our chatting and get ready for the celebration night. We all got dressed and drove to her parents’ beach house. We then had a few appetizers and wine. Soon after the toasting to her engagement with her girls, mom and future mother-in-law, we all got into two taxi vans and were dropped off at South'n France. It is a home owned by a married couple who makes bon bons for a living. They met in France. They host these bon bon parties where you drink champagne or
wine and eat a few hors d'oeuvres along with learning how to make bon bons (hand made sweets dipped in chocolate). We learned the process and saw a tour of their home. It was very intriguing. We really enjoyed ourselves there. Sara and her mom did a great job of picking out such a perfect and fun place! From there we all got back into out cabs and went to the bars downtown. And of course the best was saved for last, "City Limits", where Sara was able to enjoy herself on a bull ride!!! After we closed down the bars we headed to the beach house and of course ate some more and talked some more, and finally hit the beds around 4AM again!For more information on the Bon Bons see this website!

The following Sunday morning, we awoke to Marley and Chris making a fabulous breakfast for all of us girls. Sara's fiancé is a chef, so he is a terrific cook! We loved
the food! We then finished getting ready to head out of town. We packed our bags and the car and said our goodbyes. it was sad to leave, but good in a way since I do think we could have handled many more 4AM nights! So, Katie, Maddie and I hit the road and stopped in Smithfield, NC for some Smithfield's Bar-B-Q. It was terrific and just what we needed for lunch. Then we headed home and reached my house at about 4:45PM. We had a terrific time and by the time I came home I crashed. I will always remember this fun weekend!I hope you all enjoy viewing the photos.
