After arriving, seeing Kristi's cute apartment and visiting for a while, we headed to The Cheesecake Factory for a delicious and fun dinner. The weather was beautiful all weekend, and we were able to enjoy it by dining on the heated patio -- although at one point the heated patio felt a little more like a sauna!! We enjoyed a piece of their 30
th anniversary cheesecake for dessert- delicious!!

After dinner, we enjoyed browsing Pottery Barn Kids for nursery linens for Molly then headed back to Kristi's for a fun late-night talk!
We started Saturday off at Sephora having our make-up done which was lots of fun...

We then shopped some more at the Summit which is always fun and enjoyed a late but delicious lunch at P. F. Chang's. After resting a bit, we went to Sips 'n Strokes...
where we were taught to paint a painting...

A work in progress...

After painting according to instructions, I had to take just a little creative license and add a bit more red and many more poppies to my painting...

Although I don't think that we are master artists yet, our paintings all turned out pretty good, and we definitely enjoyed the experience; we had the best time!

After we enjoyed the breakfast Kristi baked for us, Molly and I headed back to Mississippi, but we certainly enjoyed our visit with Kristi and our fun-filled girls' weekend!
