We got down there on Friday night and had fun girl talk. We were all so excited to finally be there, especially after our detour in a ghetto area of Delaware to stop for gas and visiting nearly every rest stop on the NJ Turnpike. Our goal for the weekend was to relax and have fun, so Saturday we hit up the beach and the pool and had dinner at Harpoon Hannah's, a place where half of our group got all you can eat crab legs - they were delicious! Thanks to Kristen and remembering the self-timer on cameras, we were able to get a bunch of group shots:
After dinner on Saturday night we went to Seacrets, what I endearing called "the best bar ever." You walk in and it's a Caribbean theme with sand everywhere. There were outdoor clubs, indoor clubs, tables out by the water, tables actually in the water - there had to be about 12 different places to go and party, and they all had different live bands or DJs. The cover was only $10 - considering the prices we pay to get in to NJ bars, that's cheap! Funny story regarding the cover: when the girl behind the desk said ten dollars I thought she said "Holla!", so I asked if she said that and then said Holla right back, to which she clarified and said no, it's ten dollars. Considering I gave her a $20 I'm not sure what the issue was, but either way at the time was pretty funny and we kept saying Holla for the rest of the weekend. I guess you had to be there :)
We met a bunch of fun people celebrating birthdays, bachelor parties, and two who refer to themselves as nomads. There was also one guy - not sure which group he was with - who gave me a new nickname, Skittle. Now I know I'm short, and I wasn't wearing heels to this bar since it was full of sand, but he said I was so tiny I was "like a midget, a Skittle, a little Leprechaun he could fit in his pocket" and then he proceeded to open his pocket and pretended to put me in it. I got mad at him that night, but the Skittle nickname stuck.
After an awesome night we hit up the beach the next morning to relax, and in the afternoon we went Parasailing. Lauren and Chrissy went up 400 feet, Trista and Kristen did 600 feet, and Jacki and I went up to 800 feet. When we were up there it wasn't scary or windy; it felt like we were just floating. The views were spectacular, and it was definitely a great excursion for our girls weekend.

You can't see us, but that was us!
Everyone got a chance to dip their feet in the water on their way down, but since Jacki was the bride-to-be they decided to give us two dips in the water - one of which was a complete dunk. It was hilarious!!
Despite Hurricane Earl churning up the waters, we had a great time at the beach the whole weekend.
It was an awesome weekend with an amazing group of girls
