Ladies Night Out

Normally I'd title this post Mom's Night Out, or MNO as it's popularly referred to, but this night was different. A couple of weekends ago my friends (and fellow moms) Amanda, Caroline, Carrie, Lizzy and I treated ourselves to a night on the town and a one night stay in the luxurious Stoneleigh hotel. Yes, we are all moms. And yes, this was a night out. But we had one rule for the evening: no talking about our kids. Don't get me wrong, we all love our babies to the maximum and do all we can for them - more reason why we needed a night just to ourselves. It was a wonderful evening with a great bunch of ladies where we were actually able to sit down, relax, and finish conversations with each other. 

Our hotel was within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go in Uptown Dallas, so after an early afternoon check-in (and some drinks while we got settled), we stepped out for appetizers and refreshments at Sfuzzi. Then we headed back to the hotel to freshen up for the evening and give Carrie a surprise baby shower for her baby boy due in February. Our evening was just beginning and everyone was in great spirits. We went to Common Table for a yummy dinner followed by drinks at the Dragonfly in Hotel ZaZa. We wisely made that our last stop and went back to the hotel for some nightcaps and girl talk.

Lizzy and Amanda needed to get back to their kiddos in the morning but Carrie, Caroline and I were able to squeeze in a brunch at Coal Vines before heading home. We were gone for less than 24 hours but it's all we needed to be rejuvenated! Cheers to the next one! 

Girls just wanna have fun

First stop: Sfuzzi Uptown for apps and bevs

Watch out, Dallas!
I love how we all seem to be laughing at something in the top pic!
