Last month a group of us spent the night at the Belmont Hotel for a Moms Night Out and I have to say it was pretty spectacular! A night away from home AND with some of my favorite girls! The sweetest part was that it was a Christmas gift to us from our husbands and we had no clue until we all opened our cards on Christmas day. I was teary eyed as I read the card, because it was the most touching thing ever. My group of girlfriends all first met at our first ever playgroup at Erin's house back in October 2010, when Luna was just a few months old. We all bonded and started hanging out with each other as we were the first stay at home moms in the PTA bunch with babies. Our PTA playgroup has since grown, but we still do small things like this mom night together with just the 6 of us. Some of our lives have changed, and it was so touching to know that our husbands pulled together to get this gift for us. I feel so blessed to have such a great group of friends and husbands!
So our night out included 2 suites at the Belmont, and when we arrived we saw that Heather's husband had already visited the room and bought us food and booze! So sweet!

After settling into our rooms, we then took the hotel van over to the Trinity Groves area and sat outside eating at Souk. Amazing Moroccan food, and we celebrated Erin's birthday too!
Then we headed back to the hotel for our Belmotini drinks at the bar.
Then we went back to our rooms for the Tarot card readings that were part of the hotel girls night package. While we waited we played Cards without Humanity, and next thing you knew, it was 12am and no Tarot reader. Hmmm, so apparently he was a no-show. Darn! The next morning we ate brunch next door at Smoke, yum! The hotel apologized for the no-show and said to call the manager on Monday about it. Then we then headed home. It was sad to leave so soon and we all wanted to turn around and go back to our rooms :)
After talking to the hotel managers, we were able to get free Tarot readings for us and they credited our account. So we went back for our readings last Friday night and it was a lot of fun! The readings were more about our lives now and not some hocus pocus palm reading. He told me I was spread too thin and putting too much energy into things, you could have told me! Soo true :) This is why I am not going to be on the board for my PTA or Mops next year. Anywho it was fun and then we went next door to Smoke to eat and chat about our readings.
