Alicia's bachelorette weekend

I loved every moment of it. There were ten of us renting this huge gorgeous house that backed up onto the Russian River, about two hours north of San Francisco. The back deck was big and it had a grand hottub on it, which of course we all piled into. Down below the deck was a nice lawn of grass with a garden around it and a huge pretty smelling redwood tree that shaded the other half of the deck. Sitting on the deck there was a nice view of a tree covered hill across from the Russian River. In the shed there were 3 kayaks which we put into the big creek at the foot of the property. From the lawn there were a set of steps that led down to a mini deck which Diana used for yoga every morning. Further down the stairs was another deck/dock where we put the kayaks in. The paddle from the creek to the Russian River was short (two houses away) and there was a beach where the creek fed in. It was gorgeous!

We cooked and relaxed most of the time. I made my cosmo recipe and we all endulged ourselves. Saturday night was the party night and we surprised Alicia by getting her out of the house. While she was gone we all dressed up into bridesmaid dresses that one of the girls bought. It was just for fun! We went over the top with make-up and hair... just to sort of spoof the traditional bridesmaid tradition because Alicia decided against having them in her wedding.

Later into the night there was even a trip to the grocery store that involved hysterical laughter down each aisle and ended with pushing each other around in shopping carts. OMG... it was fun. Anyway, it was wonderful to be back with my friends and have another one of the get away weekends that I miss terribly on the East Coast.
