My best girlfriends were all roommates together at Clemson (The Ridge 207). Although I did not live with them, they have considered me an honorary roommate for years. Every year they get together at a different location for a weekend. They were beyond generous this year to invite me on their annual 207 reunion weekend. This years location was Nashville. It was Stephanie, Anika, Erin and Carla hosted. We were missing Peachy and Jessica.
It was such a great weekend. We got a great taste of the culture, nightlife, and heat of Nashville....plus got the pleasure of meeting a lot of Carla's friends.
Friday night we had a yummy dinner then headed downtown to the Honky Tonks for drinks and dancing. It is an hour time difference there. I did well until about 1:00, then the yawns set in. It was a lot of fun though, talk about a melting pot of people.
Saturday we slept in a little, sat around and talked, then got ready for our next big adventure. We took a pole dancing class. I know what you're probably thinking, "A What". Although we had a private class, this is an aerobics class, and a great workout. You learn how to move your body, and get an awesome upper body workout on the pole. I had a feeling I might be a natural on the pole, and I was. Picked it up like i've been a stripper for years:) It was so much fun, and we had a lot of laughs. I have several big bruises on my legs and hips to show for it.
After the class we got ourselves cleaned up and headed out to Arrington Vineyards to have a picnic dinner, do a wine tasting, watch the sunset, and drink wine. It was gorgeous, and we had several hours of quality conversations and girl talk. A gorgeous setting, relaxing atmosphere, all shared with good friends.
We finished the weekend by visiting Carla's church and eating delicious Mexican food for lunch. That was my first weekend away from Ashlyn, and I wouldn't have wanted to spend it with anyone else. I miss my Clemson family, and all of my dearest friends!
