Girlfriends Escape to Lake Norman

This past Saturday I went to Lake Norman with some girlfriends.  We packed up the cars with food, booze, trashy magazines, and dogs, and headed up to Kristi's family lakehouse. 

After unpacking, we took the boat out and headed to an island where we beached the boat and just enjoyed each other's company for a few hours.
