Dedra, Emily, Mom, Raly and I had a Girls' Only Marathon Shopping weekend in Denver. The grown-ups shopped on Friday at Park Meadows and then had appetizers and drinks after shutting the mall down. We played "Never Ever Have I....." much to Mom's distress. She may not admit it, but she had fun! On Saturday morning, we all drove up north to a shopping area called Flatiron Crossings. We shopped all day (12 hours to be exact) and then stayed at the Renaissance Hotel. The picture below is in the lobby on Sunday before we went out for breakfast and then back to the mall. 
When we got back to the hotel on Saturday night, we borrowed the luggage cart to get all the packages to our room. Once in our room, we snarfed down dinner from SubWay before beginning our "fashion show." We were all so tired that we had to force each other to try on our new purchases. We kept saying, "It's Girls' Weekend" which implied that you didn't have a choice, if everyone wanted to see it on, you had to model it.
The most popular purchase of the day was "Beary" from Build-a-Bear. Mom spent over an hour with Raly while she debated over each outfit piece and all the accessories for Beary. Raly took this picture in the lobby of the hotel.
Aunt Dedra picked out this outfit for Raly. Raly didn't care much for clothes shopping, so we had to force her into trying on these clothes.
After hitting the mall one last time on Sunday, we all headed home. It didn't take Raly long to fall asleep. The marathon shopping weekend left us all exhausted! Thanks Mom, Dedra, and Em for making the trip to Denver. I had a great time. I hope we can make this an annual tradition.

An annual tradition would be great. Maybe we can even follow Raly's suggestion and "go on an airplane next time"
I'd better start a girls' weekend fund NOW!
