Recap of my weekend in New York City plus posts from the week
Whew what a week!
I had a busy week preparing for my girls trip to New York and my week in Portland {next week}, traveled on Friday, and had quite the day of travel on my way home {bumpy flights, plane drama, extended delays, rude people}.
This weekend I went to New York for one of my best friend's birthday/bachelorette celebrations, and it was a blast!!
Our local NYC friend Leah planned it, and she did a great job with making fabulous reservations and ensuring we all had fun! {thanks again Leah!!!}
I loved getting a chance to reconnect with some of my college and high school besties 🙂

Here are the posts from the week:
