About a year ago, my mother-in- law, Jan, starting planning a girl's weekend away. This would be a celebration of Shanda and I both turning 30 in 2008. Sure enough, in secret she planned a getaway just for us girls.
Friday, I left with directions to an unknown destination. As I arrived, I was blown away. Jan and Jerry had reservations for us at Grandover Resort, in Greensboro. Needless to say, I was extremely excited. What an incredible way for them to love on Shanda and I.
The girls and I had an amazing time eating, talking, relaxing, getting a massage within Grandover's Spa, giggling, opening goody bags, swimming, watching the Olympics, sleeping in and shopping. I couldn't have enjoyed myself more. If this is what being 30 brings, bring it on!
Special thanks to my adorable husband that was willing to hold down the fort and care for our little ones. Also, thank you Jerry and, especially, Jan. It is so evident that you want to love on your children in tangible and memorable ways. I move into another week restored, encouraged, loved on, and relaxed.
