A girls weekend

So, this weekend I had some time away to have fun with some friends. We chose a very deserving guest of honor this year and surprised her with a "birthday" bash like no other.
We headed out about 3 o'clock on Friday and headed up to Center Hill lake where we stayed on a house boat. But let me tell you, this was no ordiary house boat. This was a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house that happened to float (even though you did not feel like you were floating). I tried to find a picture on the internet to show you what I was talking about, but nothing did it justice. I have already invited myself back for some summer time fun.

Among other various surprises, we all got tickets to see

It really was a good show. The dancers were amazing and just watching them, I was out of breath and they continued for like 90 minutes of continuous dancing.

Mr. Wayne Newton was one of the stars there. Mr. Newton did not dance and honestly he tried his best to sing. I know he is one of the great all time entertainers, but I do believe his 15 minutes may be coming to an end, for no other reason than his apparent health issues.

Helio and Julianne were the big couple. The danced a number or two and really wowed the crowd.
Monique was a true part of the show. She danced her dances with her partner, but she also hung in there and danced with the professionals on a few dances. She did great. I was impressed.
I hate that all the pics I have are of the stars. Sadly, I forgot my camera as I grabbed things to head out the door. So I will have to steal some pictures from friends and post later. It was a great weekend. The only part I would have left out was the running through the streets of Nashville to our "free parking"in temperatures that were in the teens. I could have done without that. I probably could have said no to a little food too, but come on... it was a girls weekend and what girls weekend would be complete without the junk and sweets!
