Shoes & Booze 2011

Year #2 of a wonderful tradition! Last year, a few girlfriends of mine got together in Chicago for a "girls getaway". We did a lot of shopping and wine drinking so I decided to term this weekend "Shoes & Booze", as seemed appropriate ;) The name has stuck, and those same girls decided that not only should this be a fun thing to do once in a while, but should become a yearly event. So this year, Shoes & Booze 2011 was in Dallas!

These 3 lovely ladies are all friends from different parts of my life; Blair, my fabulous cousin from Chicago and Alexis and Cris, my East Coast gals that I met at Unilever. This year was a bit different then Chicago, as we were staying in the burbs instead of the big city and there was also a baby on the way...which cut down significantly on the "booze" portion of the trip ;) None the less, we had a wonderful time, sun bathing, eating, laughing and catching up on a lot of lost time together. Thank you ladies, for the most fabulous girls weekend. I miss you all already (and so does Charlie!)
