Southampton or Bust

Remember old roommate Julia? She was my sorority sis at UT and my NY roomie for the past 3 years. Remember when she got engaged last August?

Well anyway, she did get engaged. And her wedding is quickly approaching in t-minus 4 weeks! So last weekend we took a lil weekend trip out to the Hamptons for her Bachelorette Bash, New York style!



We rented a house for the weekend. Not on the beach, but just a short drive from the village. Complete with deck, pool, hot tub and enough twin beds to sleep a sorority house. This is how it goes in the Hamptons. It's fascinating actually, the concept of Summer Share Homes. Remind me to tell you my thoughts on it someday.

Day 1 = stroll around the village of Southampton. It was such a lovely day out, we just couldn't resist the swing set at the park! Or the home made ice cream from Sip & Soda. Perfect. (note: swinging. harder than we remember. and how did we ever jump out of those things?!)


And Night 1 = burgers and hot dogs on the grill. (Who says girls can't grill?!) Wine, solo cups and hot tub. Ally's tunes and dance party 2010. Like woah.

How many girls can we fit in a hot tub? At least 9!

Me and the pretty Bride-to-Be!

Sue and J. Future sis-in-law's and besties.

Dance Party 2010. Epic. I wasn't kidding...

"Lauren! It's the perfect song for twirling!" -The Bachelorette to me
when Taylor Swift's "You Belong with Me" came on our dance party mix. She knows me well.

Emily and J with their kissy faces.

I think this was my "I dunno what's happening here, but I'm kinda loving it" pic.

Day 2 = Pool time! Sunshine, giggling, 'margarita pool party playlist' and maybe a small nap. Followed by chicken enchiladas and home made queso. Yum.



And Night 2 = Out out out in Southampton! What do you do when 14 pretty ladies walk into a bar where you're finishing up dinner? Stop and stare. Lots. Let dance party part 2 commence.



Happy happy Bachelorette Weekend, Julia!
After our Hamptons style bash, just can't wait for the Texas style wedding. Only 4 weeks to go.

Love!
