Bachelorette Party In Battle Creek, MI
To clairify, this was NOT my bachelorette party. My girlfriend is getting married in September-she and the MOH decided to rent a house out in the country and have a girls weekend. Eleven women made the trip and fortunately we all returned with all of our dignity in tact (I hope).
The house was beautiful, a colonial mansion complete with servants stairwells, hardwood floors and excellent light. The house has been significantly remodeled and updated-the kitchen was definitely the hub of activity for the weekend and the in ground pool-the other.
All the ladies brought beverages and while I will keep the girly fun of the weekend, under wraps-the food and atmosphere were by far the highlight!
My apologies for the blurry photos! I used my phone for these!
It is noted that I was awake at least 2 hours before everyone else. I also was in bed far before anyone else...going to work at 6am makes you the party's Lam-o!
We were so close to Benton Harbor on the way up-we decided to stop at the beach on the way home. My aunt used to live here and I spent family vacations and holidays on this beach. The last time I was here, I was 23 and having, what will be forever known as: the worst year of my life. What I didn't know while I was there-it was only only to get worse before it got better...This area holds a lot of wonderful memories for me and I was glad to see it again.
