We arrived in Indy at 1:30 Saturday and headed to the hotel to change and get ready for some shopping! Jenny arrived about 2pm and we headed to the mall to "help the economy"! LOL First stop was Cinnabun (sp?) I had never had their cinnamon rolls before so we shared one as a snack before the crazy shopping extravaganza began! YUMMY!!!! The Circle Center is a 4 story mall with over 100 stores and we found some awesome deals! My kids ended up with new jammies and a decal for Luke's crocs. The shoe shopping experience was awesome (Thanks Joe!). We made our salesman, Joe, run his tail off at Nordstrom's, but it was well worth it for him. Jenny got some super cute RED dress shoes that she wore out Saturday night and a cute pair of "mom" shoes in Ohio State colors! Danell ended up with the same heels that Jen bought, but in brown! I was on "budget lock-down" so no new shoes for mommy! But it was fun watching my gals shop! Danell ended up with another pair of heels from Payless (that ended up on my feet Saturday night and left me with 4 nasty blisters!) but they were super cute and that is what is important for a Bachelorette weekend, right?! After 4 hours of shopping it was time to head back to the hotel to meet up with Kristi and Stephanie and get ready for dinner.
Dinner was at an awesome Italian restaurant, full of pasta, fun drinks and lots of dessert! There were 3 other Bachelorette parties there, so it was a fun evening at dinner. The cake for dessert was HUGE! The slice fed all 5 of us and we had some left over! Back to the hotel to retrieve my cell phone and call the boys at home to check in before heading to the dueling piano bar, Howl at the Moon!
The bar was awesome and packed and so much fun! There were at least 10 other Bachelorette parties there so that made for some fun attire and accessories on people! (Let me say that we were VERY nice to Danell and did not make her dress up like a complete idiot!) Tons of songs, dancing and drinks later it was 1:00am and time for our group of girls to head back to the hotel. Back at the hotel we shared the great cake Jenny made, toasted to Danell's last night of freedom with some campaign and had some girl talk and giggles before heading to bed about 2:30am!
Sunday greeted us (me) with headaches and tummy aches and very tired bodies! Showers helped, but breakfast at Le Peep helped even more. Then it was time to say our good-byes and head back to our real worlds. It seemed like a much longer drive coming home, but that may have been from my headache and stomach ache?? We were back in Peoria by 1:30. Bachelorette weekend behind us- we have 2 weeks to recover before the big wedding weekend!
