This weekend my girlfriends and I took a trip to Broken Bow, Oklahoma for our first Girl’s Weekend Getaway. As busy wives and mothers we planned to make the time for a getaway a couple of months ago. The plan was simple, take a step back from the day-to-day grind and find time to do the following: share our experiences, have fun, and most of all relax! Most of us have small children (ages 3 and under), yet as women, the most important thing we can do to take care of our families is to make sure we find the time to take care of ourselves.
1. Share Our Experiences
We stayed in a nice 2 bedroom/2 bathroom cabin. The cabin was so serene and peaceful! The trip was about 3.5 hours by car, we rode together and spent time catching up about things that have been going on lately. Our first night, we spent time sharing stories about some of our challenges and joys that we’ve had in our individual journeys. Having a community of like minded women is so important because you know you are not on your journey alone. Often times, your friends may be experiencing similar situations, as you share these experiences it is a great way to connect and gain a new perspective.
2. Have fun
Our first night we played various games, spent time in the jacuzzi, and each one of us made our favorite cocktails to share; we definitely let our hair down. Saturday night we went to dinner and enjoyed live music, we returned to the cabin to roast s’mores by the fire outdoors, and then we shot a music video using glow sticks, it’s a TikTok trend and it was so much fun. It was so wonderful to have time to unwind and not think about anything but having a great time.
3. Relax
We started Saturday morning cooking brunch together (yay Teamwork). After brunch we relaxed for a few hours, then for lunch we enjoyed a charcuterie board and a bottle of Rose’ before we received in-home facials and massages. OH MY GOSH, y’all they were some of the best total body massages! The perfect way to enhance our relaxation experience.
I loved our girls trip and I can’t wait until the next one. I hope our trip inspires you to take a trip with a few of your girlfriends. Be sure to share experiences, relax, and have fun!
