Watch out! The girls have hit the town!

After overcoming sickness and crazy schedules two of my dear friends/bridesmaids, Emily G and Emily H, and I finally had our girls time this weekend. I was so proud of our crazy adventure skills in Minneapolis so without further a due I'll explain.  


We ended up using a Groupon for the Radisson in downtown Minneapolis.  We managed to get a room originally $209 for a mere $89.  On top of that, we also got 3 free drink vouchers for the restaurant and bar attached and 1 free parking pass.  That in itself was about $36. Yeah I know...we rock!  Needless to say I'm now addicted to Groupons.  


After getting there around 6:30 Saturday, we decided to go on the hunt for food.  Let me set the scene...St. Patrick's Day evening, downtown Minneapolis, 3 girls who none of look over 19.  We put on our big girl panties and decided we were too desperate for food to not go.  We walked with confidence even though I was the only one with a tiny tiny clue to where we were.  We finally got to the downtown Target.  Go Amanda!!  We decided to stop our crazy adventure and get food there.  At the little restaurant they had basically nothing left because they were selling out of everything.  We did manage to find food though that would qualify as dinner for the night and then had a little bit of fun shopping.  We also got some goodies for our hotel!  After some shopping we decided to leave with our goodies and attempt to make our way back to the hotel.  We actually ended up being only a couple blocks away and made it back with no problem.  
Back at the hotel, we made our own salt scrubs and had plenty of girl chat time before calling it quits for the evening/extremely early morning ;)


Sunday we lazily made it out of our hotel and decided to head for the Mall of America.  With Emily G and I in the front seat of my car, we got our next set of big girl panties on and took charge err a few wrong turns. We got there though safely once again and had a blast.  Between the 3 of us we found enough good deals for a small army!!  After many hours of fun shopping, it was time to get the other girls' cars and for everyone to head home.  It was so sad saying goodbye after living so close to one another last year, but I'm thankful for the precious fun time we were able to spend together.

Sugar scrub time!  On your feet Emily not your mouth!!

The goofy bunch :)

Ready to start our beauty treatment!

Amanda got the drain stuck and it wouldn't go back up...luckily we eventually figured it out.

Well that's the end to our adventurous girls' weekend.  I hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend. Hope you have a great start to your week!!
