Last
weekend was my sister Marena’s Bachelorette bash in Minneapolis! Marena, her fiancé,
her dog, and her girlfriends live in Omaha, so Minneapolis was a nice road
trippy sort of destination for them.

As
Marena’s Matron-of-Honor, I have been planning this party for a few months now.
When there are fourteen girls + booze involved one must really “have their act
together”. We got two rooms at the Doubletree hotel downtown Minneapolis, and
the party started Friday and ended Sunday later than planned as a few
stragglers ended up at The Local rather than going right home. Here was the
schedule:

 |
| A tradition with Marena’s friends is having the bride-to-be try on all her married and engaged girlfriends rings at the same time for a major blinged out photo opp. |
 |
| Marena found it HILARIOUS to put food in people’s clutches all weekend. Here is hers with peanuts, Saturday night I put an entire pork taco in her Kate Spade. |
 |
| I wore a black skirt and black crop top out each night…I’m probably better at playing the jazz flute than packing…and I’ve never taken a stab at the flute so… |
 |
| I snuck in a little Mom time during the comedy show. |
 |
| Our boozy brunch at Loring Kitchen on Saturday morning. I recommend their Bloody-Tinis. Oh and I broke a shot glass while cheering along to a Britney Spears song the waiters serenaded us with. |
 |
| So we had a couple cocktails/cheap beers at brunch… |
 |
| Back to the hotel to change into spandex…obviously. |
 |
| The windbreaker is back friends. |

 |
| We visited Whitney Saturday night at Gay 90’s. |
 |
| Marena exhibited the skills one can while wearing gold spandex pants. |
 |
| Did I mention Saturday night was Minneapolis’ insane Zombie Pub Crawl? How cute! |
Thanks for the best weekend girls!
