Girls Weekend!

One of my favorite things each year is going on the girls weekend! It's nice to go away for a few days and just relax & unwind! This year we decided to go down to Pelican Hill in Newport for a long weekend! Minus a few hiccups with the resort, overall we had an amazing time!

Nothing quite like a note from your butler, a nice fire in the fireplace, champagne & a cheese and cracker tray to welcome you to the villa!

Our first night we headed out to eat at Mastros! Definitely my favorite meal of the weekend!

 martinis & buttercake = delicious!

 

 The next morning we were up bright & early! We decided to walk down to Crystal Cove and walk on the beach...we ended up walking about 5 miles that morning! I definitely walked off the calories from all the buttercake I ate the night before!

 Don't think it gets much clearer than this!

 Such an awesome view! Doesn't get much better!

 OK maybe the sunsets are better :)

 After our hike the first day, I had to work for an hour and then we headed out to hang by the pool for a bit before going to the spa. 

Working hard....or hardly working?!

That evening we ate at Andreas ~ the tableside Risotto was truly amazing! As was my blueberry martini :)

  

Best risotto I've ever had!

But one of my favorite parts of the evening was being invited to meet the pasta maker and learning how she makes all the pasta by hand in the kitchen!

The next morning we were off for our morning walk again! This time we walked even further to Crystal Court and went over 6 miles!

And yes I think it was even more clear than the morning before!

After we got home, we were off to the pool to hang in the cabana for a few hours!

Watching the Hawkeye game & enjoying our cocktails! 

Love how we were watching football during our girls weekend :) The boys would be impressed!

sisters <3

Before heading out on the last day we ate brunch out by the main pool - such an awesome view!

Parker & Mark headed down to hang with us the last day before taking off. Luckily we were offered a late check out so they could enjoy the day by the pool before heading back to reality.

Bloody mary bar at breakfast!?! 

YUMMY :)

Great way to end a great weekend!

Can't wait for our next girls trip! :)
