Girls’ Weekend 2011

This past weekend was the 4th Annual Girls’ Weekend with Casey, Lisa, and myself.  Five years ago, the three of us started getting together once a year for a weekend.  Casey had just moved to Birmingham, so Lisa and I picked up and went there.  The year Casey and I got married we skipped the weekend and got together for each of our weddings!  Three out of the four trips, have been in Birmingham; the last year we went to Savannah since Casey and Michael were living there.  I love each one of these ladies so much!  I am so thankful for such loyal and wonderful friends in my life!! 

On Friday, Lisa and I headed to Birmingham.  Casey and Michael have recently moved back to Birmingham and have the most adorable little cottage like house.  I feel in love with just about every house in their neighborhood.  I love having Casey closer now; it’s just a hop and skip away now.

Friday night, we had reservations at Hot and Hot Fish Club.  YUMO!  I’ll go ahead and admit that I was worried about what I could eat, but my entrée was lovely. I had the red snapper on a bed of seasonal vegetables in a lemon oil sauce.  The lemon oil was amazing. 

Saturday we decided to do the spa at Ross Bridge and stay the night there.  Before heading out to Hoover for the rest of the trip, we had brunch at The Continental Bakery.  This is a standard for us when we are in Birmingham.  LOVE this place.  Ross Bridge is gorgeous.  We arrived early to enjoy time by the pool before our spa appointments.  This was my first time at a resort spa and let me tell you; this spa is a completely different experience than the experience you get at your every day spa.  I could have stay there all day just lounging in the hot tub, drinking cucumber water, and being pampered. 

We had dinner at the Clubhouse restaurant; where we enjoyed the view and rain shower briefly.  After dinner, we took a walk around the surrounding neighborhood.  The little neighborhood around the resort is very quaint. The houses look small from the front, but then you see how far they go back.  Gorgeous houses with most of a cottage look.  We ended the night with wine on the balcony of the resort and sitting by a fire pit. 

We did manage to get one picture!  We almost forgot to get one, but we did get one as we were leaving!

Uh oh, looks like a spammer found you!

I had such a wonderful time! Y'all are the best, and the spa was a great idea!
