My best friend is getting married in October! We celebrated her bachelorette party and last several months of freedom this past Saturday evening. It started out with a Hawaiian-themed BBQ at my place followed by a hotel room, and then a night out in downtown Minneapolis. There was a great group of ladies and the night was a lot of fun!
Here's a few photos of the BBQ:

After we finished the BBQ we headed downtown Minneapolis to The Hotel Minneapolis to get ready and have a few more drinks. The hotel was really nicely decorated and I wish I would have taken a few photos of just the hotel and the room.
And for the night out downtown:
Thanks to all the help I received on the food, we had tons of leftovers and I thoroughly enjoyed those all-day Sunday. My headache was tolerable with tasty snacks throughout the day.Top: The group ready to go out!
