This past weekend was our annual Girls Trip, this time we headed to the Poconos. About 5 years ago we made a pact to take a trip together each year to have quality girls-only time. It's something I really look forward to and is so good for me. As the years have passed some of us have gotten married, moved across the country, or had babies and it gets harder and harder to routinely get together. So these trips give us a great chance to reconnect, stay up late talking, and have girly fun without any other obligations. Unfortunately Kristen got sick this year and had to miss out, it wasn't the same without her. But Dawn, Sunita, and I still had a great time.
We rented a townhouse:

Friday night we went to the Tannersville Inn for a murder mystery dinner:
Saturday we did some outlet shopping, had lunch, then went zip lining down a mountain. I had never heard of such an activity before this weekend, but a brochure in our townhouse made propelling 85 feet down a mountain attached to a harness and pulley system seem like a good idea. It actually was a lot of fun and no one barfed on the way down. Considering we had too much wine the night before I consider that a huge success.

Sunday we did some more shopping and headed home. One of the places we went to was probably the oddest stores I've ever seen. It was a haunted house / candle shop. Apparently this was once the home of a vaccine maker, who heavily experimented on and killed monkeys in his basement. So the downstairs was a display of medieval looking medical equipment, monkey torture chambers, and cheesy scare tactics. The upstairs was this cluttered bizarre candle shop that sold just as much random junk as candles. It was fascinating.
