Last month the Perfect Strangers escaped for a long weekend in Nashville, TN. Three summers ago we went on a Ragnar trip (200 miles from Madison, WI to Chicago). Two summers ago we went to Vegas. And last summer we went to Cancun. This summer we took a road trip...a little closer to home but equally as epic.
There were 10 of us in one perfectly snug condo. Air mattresses were strewn across the floors and oversized closets served our large group well. The first night we stayed in catching up in our jammies. We were all planning on waking early for workouts so this was the perfect night in.
Half of us dropped in at CrossFit Nashville while the other half went for a runsploration of the city.
Obligatory handstand pic.
We spent the entire day at the pool. Cannon balls and handstand contests were followed by card games and napping.
The pool at the condo was like being at Melrose Place; so many people and excellent people watching.
After showers and getting ready like we were in college ('can I borrow those shoes?' or 'will you curl my hair?') we took a group picture and were off to dinner.
We spent a lot of time at Tootsie's dancing and singing the night away.
I'll spare you a lot of details, but this night lasted very late. The 3 mamas and 2 of the young'ins lasted the longest. Ended the night with karaoke. I'm sorry to say it was video taped and that there is evidence that I can sing (and ad-lib) Madonna with some pretty epic dance moves. Think we got home at 2am. Epic.
The next morning we did brunch with groggy heads and my voice was gone. Probably from all the screaming singing I did the night prior.
Again, we spent a lot of the day at the pool. Most of the group went on a day drinking excursion in search of cowboy boots. And then we hit up a local brewery for drinks then dinner. We treated this evening as a bachelorette night for Dana & Meghan.

Again, we danced the night away. So much so that Jaime took a cab ride back to our condo to get us all flats to dance in.
Was definitely a trip to remember. We had some VERY late nights which are my most favorite memories with these girls. Just love how we can come together as a large group and get good cries in, belly aching laughs in and pictures to remember it all by. Love these girls.
Got home to Mikey and we went on a bike ride to a local brewery. Quality time spent together while the girls were at camp G&G (grandma & grandpa).
I had business travel, Mike had a baseball trip and then I had the Nashville girls' trip...so our two little munchkins spent a week with their grandparents. Where they proceeded to get spoiled.
Camp G&G: the only place they'll be served breakfast in bed!
