Brittany's Goodbye GNO

For Brittany's last Girls Night Out we took it literal & decided to do dinner, stay at a hotel overnight & not be back to being moms & wives until noon on Saturday. :) I was looking forward to this night for a loooong time. Who doesn't love a good girls night away?

We all met up at the Cheesecake Factory down town for dinner. It has kind of become tradition to come here for our GNO's. Our hubbies all make fun of us for never going to other places. We all shared a bunch of different appetizers & were so stuffed by the end that we didn't even get any cheesecake. What?!

The four on the left were not continuing on to the hotel & three others were going to be joining us after their hubbies medical/work dinner.

So off we went to the Hilton Marina. One of our two rooms smelled like smoke so we tried to get them to change rooms for us. Apparently because it was hours after we had initially checked in they wouldn't move us. But they were claiming it was because their hotel was booked & they didn't have any rooms. Nicole & I were not about to lied to & not helped out. She was giving a piece of her mind & then we asked to speak to the manager. He too was sooooo rude to us. And absolutely unwilling to even try to make the situation work. He claimed he didn't have rooms, yet as we were speaking to him we were able to book a room on our phones. We asked him to give us a room for a reservation that hadn't checked in yet. Nope. He kept saying something about housekeeping not being able to clean the rooms if we switched. What?! I told him if he was in charge of this hotel then he could go clean the room. Ugh.....it went on & on & back & forth for like 45 minutes. Nicole & I were not about to give up now. We had to stand our ground dang it. :) Ends up, the housekeeping supervisor is the wonder woman that took action to help solve the issue. She came up to the room smelled the smoke, saw that we didn't trash the place & gave us a new room. Seriously, the housekeeping supervisor was able to come through for the Hilton unlike their Night Manager. He was a real piece of work I tell ya. Anyhow, after getting everything squared away & me & Nicole calming down, the party could begin. :)

Kathy was so cute & brought some champagne glasses for us to have sparkling cider. Kathy isn't LDS & was cute in asking Brittany if we could still drink champagne even though we can't drink alcohol. :) LOVE HER! She said Mormon girls nights are hard to plan for when there's no booze. Haha!

 Trying her hardest to get the cap off.  Haha!

 Britt & Aubrey trying to get the cherry out of  the cup. :)

When April showed up we all died that she really followed through with what she said she was going to bring. Yep, that's the makings for s'mores & that's her toaster oven. They were yummy!

 Me, Lauren & April watching a YouTube video of a 20 year old black head being removed from an Asian lady. YUCK!!! It was so nasty, but we couldn't take our eyes off of the screen.

We naturally stayed up WAY too late chatting, laughing & having tons of fun! Around 3:30 we decided we better call it a night. So we all jumped on the bed to attempt a group selfie. It was hilarious trying to fit everyone in. Haha! 

We slept in til about 9:00am the next morning & decided to just go grab some breakfast at Panera Bread. We chatted away some more til about noon & then all headed back to our homes. It was a fabulous time & a great last GNO with Brittany. She will be greatly missed!
