Bachelorette Weekend, Part 1

This weekend was a fabulous few days with my sister and closest friends :) Bridesmaid Elyse did the best job organizing everything and Bridesmaid Lauren and Maid of Honor Alix were there to celebrate and make the weekend complete!

Lauren picked my up on Friday afternoon, and after a brief stop to pick up Alix, we were on our way to Orlando! They surprised me with dinner at Cheesecake Factory, one of my favorite restaurants!

Drinks on the patio

Yummy cheesecake for dessert!

We then had a relaxing night at the hotel, falling asleep to "Say Yes to the Dress" and "4 Weddings" on TLC. They surprised me with some essential bachelorette gear (keep an eye out for it in the pictures)... custom pink tshirts, a crown, and some of my favorite candy!

Our plan was to get to Islands of Adventure first thing to get some of the roller coasters done before the lines got long. The Hulk was a our first stop (first row even!) and then we went on Dr. Doom and Spiderman all within the first hour!

Pre-Spiderman with Lauren and Alix... no 3D glasses for me!

And we had several snack breaks that day... Elyse and I enjoying some dipping dots!

We were joined at the park by 4 more friends, and started getting curious stares from the other people at the theme park. All us girls in our hot pink shirts and me in my crown!! A highlight of the day (for all of the Harry Potter fans anyways) was getting a sneak peak of Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and Diagon Alley. Can't wait until June 18th!! Yes, 6 days before my wedding I am already getting excited about Harry Potter "Land". I don't want to be a muggle anymore!

Hogwarts!

Next up.... getting soaked and margaritas!!
