This past weekend, I hit the road & headed up to Raleigh for my future sis-in-law's bachelorette party. This was my first overnight away from Jackson and I missed him dearly. However, Ben assured me that he and Jackson would "bach it up" (bach as in bachelor pad) while I was away. Since my weekends away are few & far between, this also doubled as one of the semi-annual girl's weekends I have with my BFFs from high school, Sally & Charlotte. We played it safe on Friday night, meeting Mike & Jenn for sushi then just catching up over a few drinks. After all, Sally (the fellow Mommy) and I had big yard-sale plans on Saturday morning. Everyone knows the early bird gets the worm and 6am comes pretty darn early!
I had done a bit of planning and knew our route, which was limited only to neighborhoods who's homes were at least $400K. (Thank you Wake County Real Property Search) After some minor re-routing due to unforeseen roadwork, we had a successful morning, yielding 2 convertible carseats, a color flatbed scanner in the box ($5), tons of children's books, a bubble machine, Legos, Finding Nemo, several toys & quite a bit of other treasures. We celebrated our successful bargaining by laying out by the pool for a few hours prior to heading back to Mikey's condo to get ready for our Jenn's shower & bacheloretty party.
We headed over to Jenn's for dinner, lingerie shower & a little pre-gaming prior to hitting up the bars. Jenn has a great group of girlfriends and it was great meeting everyone. Sally, Char & I were practically chaperones, considering most of them were in their early to mid-twenties & the three of us are on the brink of 30. However, these old gals did not let our age hinder our ability to represent. Despite being up since 6:30am, we were the last of our group to leave the bar (which was incidentally around 2:30am). And best yet, we all felt relatively decent on Sunday morning! Considering this was my first time out & about since I first got pregnant with J, that is quite impressive.

Who knew my soon to be sis-in-law was such a dancing diva?
