Girlz Day Out

Girlz Day Out has been a long honored tradition of the gentler sex... a day involving copious amounts of carefree self-indulgences such as shopping, pampering, eating, and laughing (in no particular order) with your BFFs: Best Friends Forever. I did just that on my Girlz Day Out. Today I met my BFF Debbie whom I've known since I was 17.... my BFF Shannon, Debbie's baby sister.... and my BFF Pamela, my baby sister. The last time all four of us were together for a Girlz Day Out was when Shannon and Pamela were 6 and 8 y/o respectively, and Debbie and I had taken them to the movies to watch "An American Tail" and then to SciWorks (nature and science museum) to see the dinosaur exhibit.... and [snap!] here we were over 20 years later reuniting for a much overdue Girlz Day Out.

Our Girlz Day Out began with a delectable luncheon of Indian cuisine at Nawab's. It was Pamela's first time to try out Indian food and she was an instant converter. Because all four of us have blogs, all of our volun-ask photographers had to be subjected to an array of cameras and apologetic instructions to basically capture the same photo op, or as Shannon called it, "blog-op". LoL.
.
After our spicy meal, we ambled over to a charming little shop that sold unique gift items such as blown glass ornaments, stained-glass wind chimes, and specialized wrought iron sculptures. The girlz struck silly poses, and this was my favorite.
We couldn't leave the store without getting our holiday "blog-op" with Santa. Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa was all smiles under his long wintry beard.
We lingered so long at the novelty store that we had to hurry over to Tranquility Salon & Day Spa for our luxurious hour of pampering and self-indulgences... but not without getting our "blog-op" shotz beforehand!
Here's a close-up of the Tranquility pose from the above "blog-op". I love this photo of the girlz.

Inside, I posed in front of the Tranquility fountain with my BFF sisters. As we were collected for our scheduled appointments, four girlz that came from four parts of the United States: CA, VA, NY, and NC separated and went to their pampered appointments of Swedish Massages, European Facials, and Russian Pedicures.... It was, without a doubt, a delightfully self-indulgent Girlz Day Out !
