I’m in Charlottesville, Virginia today with my blogger gal pals and having a blast! This is our second summer getaway for the Sip, Dine, Shine retreat with bloggers from Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia. Our get together last year was in my home town of Charles Town, West Virginia (you can read more about it HERE). So I figured I’d do a round up of posts that would be great for your next escape with your girlfriends.
Do you ever take a trip with just your friends? Without the husband and kids so you can catch up on life and not be interrupted every 5 minutes. You don’t have to go far, and when you rent a house via AirBnB or VRBO, you can save some money by bringing coolers of food and making your own breakfast and drinks. I highly recommend taking off with your friends – it’s the laughs, the tears, the bonding that make life bearable. Here’s a few Girls Weekend Getaway Ideas, including a few destinations, some cocktail suggestions, easy recipes, and fun activities to recharge your internal batteries.
Join us – Carrie, Brianne, Erin, Nichole, and me while we go wine tasting and check out the historic spots in Charlottesville with #sipdineshine2018 on our IG Accounts.
