We arrived midday Thursday and hit the pool to catch some sun before heading out for dinner at the Palm Street Pier Bar and Grill overlooking the ocean. Then walked over to Louies for some drinks and dancing.
Since we have been going non-stop lately with work and life, we decided to get a couples massage on Friday morning. This was Austin's first massage and he really enjoyed it! It was my first prenatal massage and I realized just how bad I was missing out by not have getting one sooner!
After a little relaxation, we met the crew by the pool and had a great time. This body needed some serious Vitamin D.
Later that evening we went to the rehearsal dinner at Louies and partied the night away! Spring Break 2011. Seriously, I havent stayed up that late in a long time... We even went on a little booze cruise after dinner and saw the sights of Laguna Madre. It was beautiful! Just what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle of Dallas. The groom organized two parts to the booze cruise. The first part was relaxing at sunset and the music was all country and oldies since we had some older folks on the boat with us. We re-docked at 11pm just in time to find out that the Mavs won! Then we departed for round 2 of the cruise and I couldn't have prepared myself for what was to come. I have never laughed so hard in my life. We all have some great stories to share from that evening and we ended up back at Louies after the cruise.
Saturday morning we enjoyed some more pool/beach time as if we couldn't get enough! Later that evening we walked down to the beach for the ceremony and it was an amazing view. The bride and groom looked beautiful. After the ceremony we were greeted by a Mariachi Band and had cocktails on the patio and then went to the reception which was beautiful!
What a great weekend!!! Congrats to the Ratliffs!!
