Girls Weekend Wrap Up

This last weekend was all about girl time for my best friends Megan, Sam and myself. 
Friday night Sam and I made the drive up to Megan's house in Fremont Seattle which is a stones throw away from UW.
Our first stop was The Ballroom Bar where we danced the night away.
Our next stop was called Norms Ale House and Eatery where we ended up giving some random guys our drinks because we wanted some food so badly. :)
So we hit up DICKS!!!!
Get this shiz, I got a cheeseburger, fries and a vanilla shake for $5.25. Sha!

The rest of our weekend then went a little like this.
Saturday we woke up HELLA early so Megan could go buy Breaking Dawn which is part of the Twilight Series, o the things we do for friends!
Then we walked around the U district until CHIPOTLE opened.
They seriously have the best food EVER. 
After lunch we headed back down to Tacoma where we continued girls night plus Yanni, Megan's ex boyfriend who is not a girl BTW!
He treated us to bowling and drinks where I lost so badly. Pretty sure my score was in the 60's for the first game. GROSS
After bowling we headed to The Loose Wheel Bar and Grill for CRAZY kareoke and dancing.
 YES dancing, we did the cupid shuffle and the wobble, if you don't know these dances you should look them up, so fun!
Sunday morning Megan and I went to the store for breakfast essentials to make breakfast for Yanni and his room Nikko.
Megan impressed us with scrambled eggs with spinach and mushrooms, roasted potatoes, sausage and mimosa's.
To top of the weekend we watched part of the Notebook!
It was exactly what I needed, girl time with my best friends!
