A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon in Indianapolis for a "girls day out". It was a great time - in lieu of a baby shower, my friend Angela planned a fun relaxing day for me with some friends in Indianapolis. It was SO much fun!
We started the day with brunch at Angela's. Then from there we treated ourselves to pedicures (foot massages are amazing these days!) to beautify our tired feet. Afterwards, we made our way over to "You Are the Potter", a paint-your-own-pottery place, where we all picked out our own pottery and came up with creative ways to paint and decorate it. It was one of the best parts of the day and surprisingly very relaxing, especially to me, seeing as I would normally avoid any and all type arts 'n' crafts activities. We all really enjoyed ourselves and spent nearly 3 hours there!
We finished the day with a yummy dinner at St. Elmo's Steakhouse downtown, which lasted nearly 4 hours! It was so nice to get to spend some time with my girlfriends and get away for a little bit. Thanks Ang for creating such a memorable day for me!

Our selections: a piggy bank for me for the nursery, coffee mug for Angela and brush holder for Heather
A surprise cake brought out to me by our waiter "Toole" (yes, his real name and yes he was). Of course the cake was courtesy of the girls as well.
What a fun day!
I love those pottery places. Em took me to one in Memphis back when I was 16 or something, and I had so much fun. What a great way to relax!
ReplyDeleteIf one names their child "Toole", he/she is bound to become one. That is called self-fulfilling prophesy, no??
