Bachelorette Weekend

Last weekend six of my closest girlfriends and I headed down to Savannah for my bachelorette weekend. A girls weekend was just what I needed to take my mind off of all the last minute wedding to-dos. We had a blast! Five of us arrived in Savannah around six on Friday evening, and two more were about an hour behind flying/driving in from Indianapolis & Knoxville. We stayed in the Mulberry Inn right on Bay Street.

On Friday night, we had dinner reservations at Rocks on the River in the Bohemian Hotel. Dinner was delicious-- I had the crab cakes. We had so much fun catching up over food and wine. After dinner, we headed up to the top floor of the hotel to a roof top bar called Rocks on the Roof. As soon as we got there we headed straight for the dance floor and didn't leave until the lights came on.

Saturday morning, we all tried our best to sleep in, but ended up getting up around 9.... oh the joys of being grown-ups. Once we all got ready for the day we did a trolley tour of Savannah and stopped at a Mexican restaurant for lunch. Then we walked down River Street, stopping in the open air market and of course, River Street Sweets.

We had dinner reservations at a tapas restaurant called Jazz'd on Saturday night, which was another delicious meal. After dinner at Jazz'd we headed to Savannah Smiles, the dueling piano bar. There were so many bachelorettes there-- at one point they called us up on stage. I'm pretty sure there were like eight of us. Most of the brides-to-be were also getting married on April 30th. Sadly, the weekend had to come to an end. On Sunday we packed up, went to breakfast and headed back to Atlanta.

1 week from today I will be Mrs. Ostenson!! (I'm pretty sure the first time someone calls me that I am going to look around the room for James' mom)
