Girls Trip 2009!

What a wonderful idea to have a girls trip, I wonder who came up with that fabulous idea? This last weekend all the Johnson girls got together to spend a fun weekend with Jen in Arizona. It was so fun to see all the girls in one place, and leave the husbands at home, even though we talked a lot about them.

Day 1. We got Pedicures and Manicures. See if you can guess who hands and feet belong to who.
For dinner that night we went to a delicious restaurant called Kona Grill. I had a sweet salmon that was to die for! Talk about melt in your mouth! Afterwards we shopped around at the outdoor mall, and did I mention that the weather couldn't have been better. I know it was raining all week in Utah, and Colorado, but it sure did make for a bearable climate in June.



Day 2 we started the day out with a little swimming. We took Ryan and the kids on this trip, and Ryan said one of the funniest one liners that I will always remember, "Google is the big talkers nightmare." I laughed for a good five minutes, I can't even remember what we were talking about to make him say that. If your nor laughing, you probably had to be there.
Later, we went to a Dentists office to get Facials. That's right I said a Dentists office. Jen has a friend that does facials on the weekend in her husbands Dentist Office. It was a little nerve racking to sit in a dentists chair, but after a while of not hearing the zing of a drill, you got very relaxed.
That night we went to the Cheesecake Factory and sat outside to enjoy the lovely weather. Can you believe that I didn't gain a single ounce this weekend! For Reals!


Day 3 we had a lazy Sunday watched Maddie play Wii and make Wii characters of all of the family. That girls got creativity in her. Speaking of Maddie, in case Jen doesn't write this down, One morning Maddie wok up at 6:30a.m and Jen asked her why she wasn't sleeping in like she normally does and Maddie replied "Not when we have customers". She meant not when we have guests but from then on the entire weekend we were known as "customers", what great customer service we had!
Day 4 we shopped til we dropped and caught a plane back to Utah where Millissa turned into Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Warning: Millissa should be sedated before she flies. When the plane landed Millissa was all but kissing Angela and I's faces for putting up with her on 2, count them, 2 plane rides. She was completely different person after we got out of the airport and returned to her lovely self.
All in all it was a super fun weekend and I got a great split pea soup recipe out of it. Jen your the best for putting up with all the girls. I love all you guys and can't wait until we can do it again!

Girl's Trip + Girly Stuff Only = F.U.N.! Yep, that's the right equation!

The trip could not have been more enjoyable!! I love spending time with the "girls." Even though I would love to be 30 again, Carrie, and be able to keep up with all of you. You ALL make my life so fun--I count my blessings!
Love you,
