The last week of June is when MGM went away for the weekend. Some of us had been saving for this fun weekend! This year we went to a bed and breakfast named The Walden Plantation in Llano, Texas from Friday to Sunday. They had been expecting us for over a month. The wife & owner is also apart of a ladies group that have yearly trips.
Half of us went down early Friday morning to have lunch with Granny in Waco before getting there early evening. The others made it in time to meet us for dinner. The weekend was filled with laughter, talking, more laughter, late nights, relaxing, and some wine. I forgot to mention we didn't change any diapers or have to cut anyone's dinner except our own!
Friday night we met at Cooper's BarBQue for an interesting meal. You choose your meat before walking in the restaurant to have it weighed and cut. For some of our MGMer's, sanitizing is very important and this was a different atmosphere. ;) We laughed and talked way into the morning that night making many memories!
Saturday morning we slowly got up and suited up for a day at the pool. Of course, we enjoyed a wonderfully homemade breakfast first. On our way to breakfast at 9 am, we moved chairs and laid out our books and floats to claim the pool. We got several looks when we walked into breakfast from everyone who had watched us set our stuff up at the pool. I am sure they didn't know what to make of 6 women noisily walking in after rearranging the pool chairs and claiming just about all of the chairs. After breakfast we blew up all of our rafts, read books and visited some more. Mandi even read us her PEOPLE about Jon & Kate and other important stories in the world. We floated and talked until we were ready for a late lunch. After lunch we wandered back out for some more sun time before coming back one-by-one for a shower. (We only had 1 shower for 6 ladies.) That night we found a local Italian place which turned out to have decent food but horrible service! Surprisingly we turned in pretty early that night. We still had fun laughing and making new memories!
Sunday morning was a time of packing and eating a fabulous breakfast before heading home. It was a pretty uneventful day. It was nice to follow the directions of the GPS while visiting the whole way home. We ended the trip with lunch at DQ-a real small town Texas restaurant!
The weekend was fabulous and we have already started talking about next summer's trip! Thank you, girls, for some wonderful memories and laughter! I love you all and am truly blessed to have such good girlfriends!

Looks like a fun time was had by all. BTW, Dan and I love Coopers. You get the pork chop and split it and then end the meal with blackberry cobbler. It is an interesting set up!
I am soo jealous, you guys look like you all had a great time.
That sounds like a wonderful time. An entire weekend without kids (and husbands), wow, I just can't imagine. Glad you are able to get away and do this stuff. BTW, your new house looks beautiful!
