Southern Cakes

This past weekend Blair and I both celebrated our respective bachelor/bachelorette parties...and "celebrated" might be an understatement. Blair and 35862397462 of his closet friends went to Savannah and the girls and I were just right up the road in Hilton Head.

I headed down on Thursday night after work with my friend Megan and after a great walk on the beach the next day, lunch and shopping with mom and Laura, we were ready for the rest of the guests to arrive. Friday night was a blast. I really don't think I have had that much fun in a long time and it was such a wonderful feeling to be with my sister, cousin Rebecca, best friend from childhood Jenny combined with Wofford and Columbia girls. It was such a great group and we took the island (and our limo driver, Bill) by storm.

Saturday morning involved a lot of lounging and recapping the highlights of the night before. Some of the girls had to leave on Saturday so Megan, Laura, and I treated ourselves to an afternoon at the spa and then spent the rest of the afternoon watching Bridesmaids with the rest of the girls, doing a lot of talking and laughing sitting around the kitchen. We were treated to a dinner at Santa Fe Cafe, one of my all time favorite resturants and it didn't disappoint.

It was so nice to have the best of both worlds with a big, fun group and a night on the town on Friday and a more relaxed day and night on Saturday. So thankful for Megan for having us, it was definitely a weekend to remember!

Note to all that attended: You can borrow the cookbook...

Hope you all had a great weekend and thanks for reading!
