Last weekend JR and I headed down to Davenport, Iowa for a weekend with some friends. Unfortunately it wasn't for a full weekend since JR ended up having to work a 4 hour shift Friday night BUT we still got down there. We were up at 5 am and on the road by 5:30. We were celebrating Tiff and Dan's Bachelor/ette parties and had a blast. :) It seemed like everyone at both parties had enjoyed themselves quite a bit. Let me tell you this was a pretty unique experience being sober and pregnant. I know I would have had a lot more fun if I were drinking BUT it was still nice to see everyone.
The ladies spent the afternoon at Tiff's bridal shower where she and Dan got some very nice things. That evening the party started at a bar at the hotel where her reception will be held. Since I am the Matron of Honor (I hate that I am a MATRON, it sounds so OLD!) I hosted the event. We played a few games and then headed out on our pimped out party bus. Tiff was pretty successful with her "suck for a buck" bouquet of suckers and brought home over $100!!
The guys were out at Buffalo Wild Wings and then took their party bus around town to various "clubs". At the end of the evening the parties ended up meeting at an area bar. BTW thank you Iowa for adopting the no smoking in bars law, I never would have been able to attend otherwise!
There were some interesting dynamics that took place but by far my favorite was when the pregnant lady almost got in a fight with 2 guys trying to start something with her husband. DON'T MESS WITH ME! :) Justin didn't have a clue what was going on but I started yelling and it went downhill from there. Long story but pretty funny now that I think about it.
The night ended sometime after 3:00 (WAY too late for me to be up!) and we were on the road back home by 11:30 am. Quite the whirlwind trip but can't wait to get back down there for the wedding in April!
