Ash's Bachelorette Weekend - Part I

My friend Ashley is getting married in one month and two days.  We can't wait - we're so excited for her and Chase!  You may remember my post about their engagement shower in December, which can be found here.  So this past weekend we went to Wilmington, North Carolina to celebrate Ash's bachelorette weekend.  This is going to have to be a two-part post ... way too many pictures were taken, and the fabulous house deserves a post of its own!

So without further ado ... here's how we partied down on Friday, Saturday and Sunday:

This is before dinner Friday night.  We all got ready and then two long golf carts pulled up in front of our house to pick us up.

En route to dinner ... we had delicious sushi at Yosake on South Front Street.  Oooh, and how could I forget to mention my cocktail before dinner -- they do a St. Germain/gin/club soda cocktail that is to die for!

Taking shots and loving every minute.  Okay, maybe not so much.  Look at our faces!

The next morning we loaded up the car and headed to nearby Wrightsville Beach.  We got all 7 girls in one car along with 7 chairs, 3 large coolers, and 7 beach bags!

We did a little shopping at Monkee's after leaving the beach and then had a low-key night ... takeout Thai food on the front porch.

We threw Ash a lingerie shower,  and as part of the shower, each girl brought a wrapped pair of undies with no name on it.  Ashley had to open the packages and guess who each pair came from.

We can't forget to give a shout-out to Eddie, the scary butler that graces the foyer ... wth!?  His eyes followed you around the room (not kidding) and he made groaning sounds.  It kept us laughing all weekend.

And if you follow me on Twitter (@ALizAdventures), you know that we had a blast playing The Name Game that night.  Part of it involves a charades aspect and guess who was the worst??  Yours truly.  I am so bad at charades!

Tomorrow, I'll tell you more about this amazing house we stayed in.  If you've ever wanted a Wilmington escape, I couldn't give a better recommendation to this historic home.
