What happens in Leavenworth stays there (and goes on this blog)

Getting married is one of the most important milestones in a girl's life, and it is often preceded by one of my most favorite events...
 
The Bachelorette Party!
 
My own bachelorette party weekend was a pretty epic experience, so as one of my dear friend Alissa's bridesmaids, I wanted to help make hers equally as spectacular. Unfortunately two of her bridesmaids (myself included) decided to get knocked up in the past year, which meant one of us (ashamedly raises hand) was unable to get on an airplane and the other had to stick her hubby and new baby in a hotel room so she could go back and breastfeed every few hours. Bachelorette parties in your 30s are much different...
 
But we made the best of it and planned a surprise weekend for Alissa in one of my favorite little places: Leavenworth, Washington.
 
We rented an adorable house right in the middle of town for a weekend of festivities including relaxing spa treatments, delicious dining experiences, a limousine winery tour, and lots of other games and shenanigans.
 
I shall withhold all the gory details to protect the innocent, but let's just sum it up to say we had an absolutely fabulous time! Even me, the token sober one...

  2. That looks like so much fun! I was in TWO weddings pregnant but neither had bachelorette parties.. but one did have alcohol and so I was pretty depressed not being able to drink lots of champagne :) I would have died if I was pregnant at your wedding b/c it was sooo much fun!! You look cute and the mountains are gorgeous!!
