Our 3rd annual Jacksonville get together!

[Jenny]

It was a Blast! Unfortunately, I did not take as many pictures as I had hoped too! We had such a great time visiting with each other, shopping, playing games, eating, box openings, baby shower, enjoying each other's babies, roasting marsh mellows by the fire pit and laughing until we cried! BTW....Brittany won the most unusual first job! lol........We had approximately 14 ladies in total from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Florida! Several of us had attended before and several were newbies!

We met at the Cheesecake Factory on Thursday for a great lunch ( and cheesecake to go) then headed to the Homewood Suites for a relaxing evening of box openings and visiting with each other in Tracy's suite! Friday morning, we met downstairs for breakfast and then a day full of shopping and lunch. Friday evening, we met downstairs for a great time in the lobby of the hotel. I prepared a crockpot lasagna with salad, bread, and dessert! We had our 3rd annual baby shower and boy do these ladies have great taste. The gift exchange was so nice.

Saturday morning, we met downstairs for breakfast again and then headed out for another day of fun! We started off at Bye Bye Baby and then we branched off in groups and did our own thing, some went to the mall, others went to Once upon a child, and other places as well. Saturday afternoon we gathered downstairs where Tracy Lorraine aka Grill Master cooked hamburgers! They were amazing! Afterwards, we played the Saran Wrap game...lol....and a few other games as well.....like what's in your purse! * Let make a deal style and the Alphabet game naming baby items! No Serenity.....V is not for Violin! lol.....After the games, we sat around the fire pit enjoying roasting marsh mellows and laughed until we cried!

On Sunday morning, we met down stairs again for breakfast, visited for awhile and said our goodbyes until next year! Tracy, Julie and myself are already planning next years get together, so stay tuned! We have some pretty fun things planned!......
