Mama Mia Weekend - Part 1

My weekend will go down in history as one of the best. Nine sisters planned and looked forward to this for nearly a year. It. Was. Epic. 
And so it began...

Thursday. What a day! Honey, honey! It was a misty rainy day but my spirits did not dampen. The trip was a delight as I looked forward to the adventures about to happen. I stopped at a favorite watering hole in Hattiesburg, The Plaid Rhino. They did not disappoint...
Disclaimer: there will be food pictures aplenty. It was a major portion of the adventure. This was a yummy salad at the PR. 

A very good crawfish pepper jack soup at the PR. 

I had a few hours until Mimi got off work so I planned to stop at Beach Boy's house to visit with his wife and Millie and Sweet Pea. Millie is all over the place. She is saying some few words now. We had fun. Sweet Pea is picky and choosy about her picture being taken. 

Millie and me. And - Sweet Pea, the photo bomber. 

On to sister's house where Mimi and my Texas sister, Lynn, awaited. We wined and we sang...

Mama Mia sing-along. 

We stayed up way too late laughing, and singing, and being together.

Friday. 
After coffee we got ourselves all ready for adventure. More sisters arrived - four together and then another. We waited on Marsha. She is always the last. Then this... 


She showed up in costume! Ready for the Mama Mia weekend! 

Marsha brought us all the queen sunglasses. Here we go again!!


The limo ride over was a party complete with champagne and twerking! 
Yes, that is Amanda in the background! Can you believe that girl?!

After checking into our rooms we all unwound at the famous Carousel Bar at the Monteleone. 



They had fabulous drinks and some very entertaining girls around the bar. We made new friends from Ohio that had us laughing our fannies off. Then they were gone and and we just kept having fun, anyway. 
This day wasn't over, but I am out of time right now. Will continue the story in my next post.
Laissez le bon temps rouler!
