Girlfriend Getaway



There is nothing like a girlfriend getaway!  This group of ladies were part of the expat group that lived in Belgrade, Serbia while we were there in 2003-4.  Our hubs all worked together and we played together . . . talked together . . . drank together . . . cried together . . .  we were each others support team.

We now range in age from 37 to 62 . . . not a group of women you might ordinarily think would befriend each other, but in the unique situation of  living in a different country, you become family.

We are now scattered all over the US . . . Colorado, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee.  Some I have seen fairly often, others not often enough.  It was a great reunion!

We went to Put-In-Bay, OH on Lake Erie.  We stayed in a B&B that was an easy walk into town.  Town . . . one bar/restaurant after another.  We did a lot of eating and drinking . . . talking and laughing . . . dancing and singing . . . talking and drinking . . . drinking and laughing.

We caught each other up on our lives, our families . . . we reminisced . . . we shared . . . we counseled . . .  we're still a support team.  We talked about where we'd get together next year . . . it's a must!

I love my Belgrade Babes . . . nothing like a girlfriend getaway!        ~*
