This weekend was my bachelorette party in Wilmington.  I am lucky to have some great friends that were able to come and spend the weekend helping me celebrate.  Friday afternoon I picked Kris up from the airport and we grabbed Michelle and headed to Wilmington, everyone else would come down on Saturday.

Once we got to the hotel and finally got the car parked we headed out for dinner.  We went to Front Street Brewery to grab some dinner and drinks.  After that we headed out to find a bar.  We stopped at some martini bar with an odd crowd, had a drink and headed back to the hotel.

About 3:30 in the morning we were all awaken to a really loud “OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH” (read really high pitched shrill voice) and laughing from the room next door.  This continued for a while and then there was a lot of baning.  Like bags hitting the floor.  We were all more then annoyed and finally we decided to call the front desk.  The loudness stopped after that.  Finally!

Saturday we got up and decided to walk around town until the others arrived.  We did some shopping, met up with Lisa and Tracey and had lunch.  More shopping and walking until Elizabeth arrived.  Then Kris and I decided we needed a nap.  We laid down and not 10 minutes later the obnoxious neighbor started up again. Ughh!  It was about time to start getting ready for dinner anyway but man it was annoying to not even be able to just take a 15 minute nap.

That night we went to Elijah’s for dinner.  Thankfully Lisa had offered to drive to dinner because while we were eating  it began to pour.  Our waitress was great and gave us the number of a guy with a golf cart service who could drive us around later.  We took full advantage of “cartman” and had him drive us all downtown.

The first bar we walked in, we looked around and walked out.  It wasn’t really our crowd so we headed to the bar across the street with cool music playing.  It was a Pirate bar, arrrggghhh!  HAHA!  We at least had a drink here but the crowd was pretty sketch and some random guy decided he could pat me on the ass.  I promptly moved around the bar.  🙂

Next up we went to Reel.  It was cool brick building with good music.  We walked upstairs and it looked like we had just walked in on the prom after party.  A bartender told us it was a UNCW event but I think it was prom.  No pics to prove it. 😉  We stayed here for a few drinks before heading back to the room.  We all stayed up for a while chatting.

I fully expected to be woken up again in the middle of the night by the loud neighbor but either we all drank enough to not hear her or she got arrested and never made it back.  Not sure which one is true but I feel confident it could have been the latter. 😉

Sunday we all headed back to Raleigh. I was really glad to get home and see M and the kiddos.  Thankfully I wasn’t too tired from the weekend, though I may have squeezed in a little nap.

And now it’s Monday and I’m already over this week.
