Dana's Bachelorette Weekend

We just returned home from Dana's Bachelorette Weekend in Newport, RI. As the Matron of Honor, I was so happy that the weekend went so smoothly. Everything worked out perfectly! We enjoyed our stay at The Newport Marriott, which was in walking distance to all the restaurants, shops, and nightlife. Our dinners at The Mooring and 22 Bowen's were delicious! We stopped at The Red Parrot each night after dinner for one of their specialty drinks, which are served in a huge 32 ounce glass (my drink of choice this weekend was a club soda and cranberry). Friday night we headed to The Dockside, which had two fantastic bands playing. We had so much, and danced the night away (even me... I may be large, but I've still got moves). On Saturday night, we partied it up at One Pelham East. The band played a variety of great music, and we were entertained by trying to figure out if the lead singer was a male or female;-) Fortunately, we had beautiful weather, and we spent the majority of Friday and Saturday at the beach! We had lunch at the Atlantic Beach Club both days, and we all came home with a little color. We also visited The Rosecliff Mansion, which was gorgeous and coincidentally had a wedding dress exhibit on display. This was such a memorable weekend! It was great to see Dana enjoying herself! She partied like a rock star, and she did a great job with her scavenger hunt throughout Newport! I can't believe the wedding is next month! I'm looking forward to seeing all the girls again! We had a fabulous time together!

We kicked off our lunch at the ABC Bar on Friday with a big "Cheers to Dana the bride-to-be!"
