a "Sisters Only" day away!

So, i've been told several times that we need to get together and go on a day trip or something as a group! I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! You all know that anytime the word "G-O" is mentioned, I am the first on the band wagon!!
I've been trying to think of things that women always want to do, but the men normally would not consider doing... but that is a really hard task, especially when considering our 16 different personalities also! ha ha
Here's a few things to consider; check it out, see what you think, and let's discuss at the next meeting. We've got to do some serious planning ... we're all in desperate need of a GIRLS ONLY fun day!

1.) what about a day at the spa? i have seen several salons advertise "pj parties" for groups! this could be something fun, something pampering, but not too far to travel.

2.) shopping and touring Natchez... just a hop, skip and a jump from us lies a beautiful old river town. Maybe we could go to the Kelly's Kids warehouse sale (june 17th) and then have a Southern lunch and go tour a home. Rosalie will be decorated like a 19th century wedding throughout the month of June.

3.) or, maybe visit another old river town... Vicksburg. There, we could visit the outlet mall, http://www.vicksburgfactoryoutlet.com/, and/or maybe tour a garden & home, http://www.lindenplantationgardens.com/index.html, and/or see a melodrama play, "Gold in the Hills", http://www.vicksburg.com/~gold/.

4) Someone mentioned that The Food Network's own Paula Deen will be in Jackson soon. Here's the low-down on her upcoming visit... (If we opted for this activity, i'm sure we could also combine a little shopping before or after her program.) http://www.brookshires.com/promotions/paula/paula.asp

5) We could do an out-of-state visit... there's an outlet mall in Gonzales, LA; Foley, AL; and also in Gulfport, MS (our last SS destination). http://www.tangeroutlet.com/ Or, maybe we could just find us a nice beach somewhere... you all know how desperately i need a tan! ha ha

There is also a Scrapbook Fest in Natchez coming up in July (www.scrapnontheriver.com.) and we could always go to the really cool "Tupelo Giant Flea Market" which is the 2nd full weekend of every month except February and August.
What ideas do you all have? POST THEM, or bring them to the next meeting. Let's not let summer slip by without our very own Secret Sisters Splunkle!!! (i can feel the excitement brewing already!!)
