The Bachelorette

Last night was my bachelorette party! My amazing Maid of Honor Maili organized the whole thing: Snacks, drinks and games at her place, then a canoe/kayak paddle at sunset, then dinner and more games, and finally a campfire and s'mores. We had a blast. First, I was surprised by Heather's sister, Andrea, who is one of my best friends from childhood and who I didn't know would be there. We drove up to Maili's with a canoe strapped to Heather's Ford Focus. After some alarming buzzing, followed by a screeching, then a quick stop to tighten the canoe so we didn't accidentally get airborne, we were back on our way. Over the course of the evening I: got a signature cocktail thanks to Megan, consisting of Jameson whiskey, Disaronno and birch beer, called "Laurel on the Rocks" (a little Italian, a little Irish, and a lot of woods!); put a condom on a cucumber; saw a blue heron and a pitcher plant; constructed a penis out of play-doh; wrote a song about aging; invented a kahlua toasted marshmallow; and dug a maraschino cherry out of a dish of whipped cream using only my face. Not many people can say they did all that at their bachelorette party. Thanks to Maili, Heather, Andrea and Megan for showing me the best time a girl could ask for!
