This year was the second year we rented a house... Actually we rented one house last year and this year we rented the same house plus a second one next door.
I think that through the weekend we had about 20 women come through the houses. With busy lives, some could only stay for one night. This year one of the gals came as far south as Atlanta, GA and one from as far north as St. John, New Brunswick, Canada.
We had a blast.
What do we do? We do what we do best. We make delicious food, enjoy a few adult beverages, shop, walk, laugh, reminisce, laugh more, solve the world's problems, laugh even more, and best of all, support each other in everything from weight loss journeys to lost pregnancies to divorce and everything in between.
For the second (and probably last) year, we did a polar plunge in the ocean at Short Sands beach in York, Maine. This year we donned costumes and braved the 22 degree weather and... I have no idea how cold the water was... to plunge. Last year was fun because although it was cold, I didn't have the immediate sensation of frozen feet. So... Next year we will do some other challenge of sorts, I think. But it was so fun for us to do it together and I have to say, the costumes were fabulous!
The weekend only lasts 2.5 days but it is such a joy to connect with such amazing women and to know that they are there as an incredible network of dear friends! It also takes me about a week to get back in the groove of life! :-)
