Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

With the Christmas Season upon us, my friend Jayda and I decided that the best way to get ourselves into the sprirt would be a night out. We invited two of our girlfriends and made reservations for 4 for dinner. Something about going out to dinner by yourself, without kids, without time constraints sounded heavenly. And it was...

We went to the restaurant inside The Jefferson Hotel...the finest hotel in Richmond.



















It's historic, it's beautiful and it just oozes fabulousness. And the restaurant inside is just as wonderful. It's called Lemaire and it is a sea of white marble flowing into rooms with ornate trim and architecture.



















After a delicious meal and delightful conversation over several hours, we ventured into the rest of the hotel to take in gorgeous Christmas decorations.























It wasn't until we'd had our first sip of sparkling champagne that one of my friends encapsulated the evening in words...she said, "I feel like....an adult." No sippy cups, no one else to feed, not one of the 10 children we have between us vying for our attention. Just a lovely time with girlfriends, chatting about all manner of topics, without any interruptions. It was perfect.
