Last weekend was Triangle Park’s first Grandma/Girls Get-away (“3G”).
Our first girls-get-away was when Diana was a baby. The three of us packed up and headed to Richfield, Utah. Our second excursion was when Diana was about 2-years-old, we journeyed to Idaho.
Ever since those two trips, we continued traveling together, just the three of us.
Our third trip was to Michigan, then Oregon, California, New York, the Bahamas and on. There are also in between trips with just two of us traveling together.
This latest trip was our 2nd annual trip to The Cloister / Sea Island. We want to make Sea Island an annual event. Who wouldn’t?
Even though these special get-aways are indeed girl trips, we are making an exception to the rule and allowing one boy in.
Beginning 2024 Triangle ParkATL’s annual girl trips will be + 1 boy. Many of you already know that Savanna is expecting a baby boy, Charlie, in May or June.
So, how will adding a boy to our girls trip work? What will that be like? Grandma along to babysit?
One thing is for sure, I won’t mind babysitting Charlie! Or! That he is a boy...
This past trip was getting baby Charlie used to the idea. After all, he was along for the ride.
We hired a photographer to document our trip again this year. Sure enough, Charlie was in on the action. He’s just so cute already. Look at that little basketball bambino.
Our scheduled photo session day was cold and windy but we did it anyway. The location was Avenue of the Trees on St. Simons Island. You may recognize the spot. It’s right before the gate to The Cloister Lodge. A beautiful setting regardless of the sun being absent.
Savanna rented all three of us dresses from Rent the Runway. She’s done this several times with success. Lilly Pulitzer is not my and Diana’s style per se but we enjoyed the brightness of Savanna’s design choices, especially on a cloudy day.
It’s crazy that the dresses fit us.
How is that?
I can try clothing on for an hour in a dressing room and have nothing whatsoever work out. Savanna orders online and with confidence packs the items, letting us know that she has what “we’ll wear.” This was not the first time she’s controlled our le stylisme.
Quick plug to the photographer! I/we loved working with Calli Kennedy, The Living Lenz. It doesn’t take much to fluster me with technological maneuvering. Calli’s process was utterly seamless from start to finish. Here is a link to her website: The Living Lenz
Calli epitomizes professionalism, friendliness and gentle spirit.
Thank you for reading and Happy St. Patrick’s Day all you Irish folks (7% for me according to 23 & Me)!
Our first “3G” trip was fun, especially +1!
Love, Shelley
