It was an international theme and everyone was encouraged to dress as if they were from a foreign country. Initially I planned on getting a kimono and being a Geisha. But, I didn't order my costume in time. So, it was a last minute rush to find something local and something cheap. Leah to the rescue! She found us this Hula girl "costume" for only $4.99 and we both went dressed like this:
It was a fun evening. There was silent auction and among other things I "won" (bought) this awesome purse that I LOVE:
There was a raffle and I won an ipod case which I will be putting on Ebay since I don't have any use for it. Tommy Ryman, a local comedian who was on Last Comic Standing then did a show for us and was hilarious!!
The next day we went up north to Tofte, MN which is about 20 minutes from Grand Marais. My friend Kathy's parents have a cabin there so we got together for a girls weekend! No kids, no men. It was a lot of fun and just what I needed. We played a lot of cards, ate a lot of food, drank a lot, and went for a hike. At one point, Kristi and kathy ran into town to get a pizza and ran into Genevieve from TLC!!! I can't believe I wasn't there to see her. Just my luck!
