I spent two days with my best friends at a resort in Park City, Utah (thanks to Jamie's friend for the hook-up). Picture this scene --sans the snow (Thank Goodness!):
From the moment Jen and Jamie climbed into my car at the airport, it was non-stop talking and laughing.
It is so interesting to reminisce over the past 20 years of our friendship. We used to talk about the Mickey Mouse Club, boys we had crushes on, driving and professional hockey players. We have discussed our jobs, college, and diets. We have gabbed about engagement rings and what it is like to be newly married.
On this trip, we talked a lot about our kids... and reality tv stars (Kate Gosselin is totally reaping what she has sown-- Jen vehemently disagrees). I have no doubt that I will still be best friends with Jamie and Jen when we are discussing menopause, grandkids, and AARP.
If there is anything I can guarantee when the three of us unite-- it is that there will be loud talking, hysterical laughing, and loads and loads of absolute goofiness. Obnoxiousness personified.
Park City was no exception. Jen had the idea that we should do something "uniquely Utah". We decided to ride the ski lift to the top of a mountain and ride the Alpine Slide (something akin to a luge) down the mountain. 
Of course, it started raining the moment we reached the top of the mountain. We were instructed to "find shelter" (huh???). We were led to a graffiti-riddled old metal bunker where they kept the broken sleds. We hunkered down there while the heavens opened and the bunker was pelted with rain. It was pretty much the opening scene of a horror movie. 
Eventually, we were "rescued"by a Suburban sent to take us back to the resort.
Park City was all but deserted and we had the run of the town-- hot tubs (don't worry- I stayed on the steps), Mexican joints, and the 24 hour hotel shop all fell prey to our hysteria.
It was too short of a trip-- but man, I love those girls! Thanks again guys... can't wait until next time!

You summed up our trip perfectly! Nothing would make me happier than to make this an annual event.
BTW- Who is the fat girl with the tragic hair standing in front of the bunker with you and Jamie?
All three of you look cute, even the pregnant one, who, by the way, was protected from her own insanity of wanting to try the luge when she is 6 months pregnant. Thanks goodness a mysterious rain cloud appeared!
Nothing like some serious girl time.
