How lucky am I that my best friend Julia lives less than four miles from the beach. That sentence is the sentence we both said the day we found her new awesome condo. Not to either of our surprise, me having four kids at home has limited my girl weekends to the awesome condo that is FOUR MILES from the beach. However Memorial Day weekend I devised a wonderful plan to have some much needed BFF time.
Our awesome girls weekend started with me arriving late due to horrible traffic. We got in the car and went to Sullivans Island to have dinner at the BoatHouse! It was wonderful. While waiting for dinner, Julia and I met our little friend Salty.
After our amazing dinner, we headed home for a relaxing evening. It is great to have a friend like Julia. We get each other. We know when to ask questions, give advice, back off, and walk away. It was so nice to be able to sit in her beautiful blue living room and not feel bad when we both got tired and wanted to go to bed. The next morning we woke up super early and we were on the beach by 10:00 am. It was perfect. We set up our perfect spot and tanned, tanned, and tanned some more.
We ate at my favorite Sullivans Island hot spot Poes for lunch....twice that weekend actually!
The weekend was perfect. Two days on the beach with the best company Mt. Pleasant has to offer, two days of eating with someone who doesnt make fun of how good food can truely change my mood, two days of shopping.....oh how I love to spend Julias money on her new clothes, and two days of perfect friend time! We spent our last evening together out on the town in Charleston. I think it was so good for us both. We relaxed and enjoyed the fact that we didnt have work, responsibilty, or alarm clocks the next morning.
I will be honest, when Monday morning came and I had to leave, I was beyond sad. I am pretty selective about my girl friends. As much as I love to talk, I dont like friends who expect to talk all the time or get together tons.I stay so busy with our kids right now, that I just dont have time for that. Julia is the same way. She is the perfect friend. I am SO glad I have Julia to talk to, lean on, cry with, yell with, and just be" me" with. She is one of the few people I can honestly be 100% me around. I love you like woah Julia! (hahahahahahaha)
