To celebrate Vicky's Cancer being gone, we decided to participate in the Susan G Komen 3 Day Walk as an official cheer station on the route. We rented a house on the beach in Mission Beach for the weekend.
It was a beautiful house right on the bay and Jackie had the house filled with the most beautiful flowers.
Everyone got there Wednesday night and I arrived Thursday afternoon. Once I was settled, we got ready and went out on the town! Look at the beautiful guest of honor-
We had a lovely dinner at a beautiful restaurant in La Jolla, Herringbone.
After dinner, we headed over to the La Jolla Playhouse for a play about Van Gogh.
It was hard to stay awake and actually, a couple of the ladies did not stay up for the whole thing. But it was still so fun to be out together.
We came back to the house and spent the rest of the evening opening our presents to each other.
We spoiled each other with pampering gifts and LOTS of matching PJ's! We stayed up late just hanging out and talking about life. We are all so different, but so much the same and have this incredible bond. I love having them in my life.
We had to be up early on Friday to move our cars. Every night and every morning, we had to move our cars from the street, so that we wouldn't get ticketed.
After our morning parking and walking adventures, we all got on our matching "#momsarenotok" sweatshirts and headed to breakfast at The Mission. It was so delicious!
Then we hopped in the car and headed to the Fairmount Grand Del Mar for magical massages and relaxation!
After snacks and drinks at the pool, we headed back to the house to change and get ready for a fun night at Rose's School for a play she was in.
It was so sweet to have us all there to cheer Rose on with her family. She felt so special. We love this family!
We were all starving after the play, but were too tired to go out. Yvonne threw together this lovely spread and we threw on some more of our matching pj's and had ourselves another slumber party.
It has been kind of fun that Vicky can't drink. It is fun to have a sober buddy!

Day 2 of the Susan G Komen 3 Day Walk for the Cure
While everyone was getting theirselves all beautiful, I made breakfast!
Then we spent the rest of the morning decorating the porch to cheer on the walkers!
We had lots of swag to give to the participants!
We put on our matching outfits, headbands and grabbed our pink pom poms and spent the whole afternoon cheering on these amazing people. So many stopped to grab stickers, tattoos and candy from our baskets. We got to hear their stories of survival, support, tragedy and triumph! It was such an amazing experience. I am so grateful that we decided to do this and that we got to do it together!
It was such an incredible day! I cheered my little heart out until the very last walker went by that afternoon and I was exhausted! I was also starving! I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast! Jackie had to leave us and head back to Dallas. The rest of us slowly got dressed and we drove to downtown and took the ferry over to Coronado and had a wonderful dinner at Peohe's.
It was such a beautiful night and the food was so good! And look at that view!
We got back to the house and started cleaning and packing up. We were so tired. Jenni had to leave early in the morning, so we told her goodbye. I slept terrible that night and poor Yvonne was up puking all night.
But we got up early to move our cars on Sunday and then we went one last walk around the bay. Yvonne, Vicky and I spent the rest of the morning cleaning up and checking out.
We hugged goodbye and I felt so happy and full of joy because of this positive, upbeat, loving experience. Cancer Sucks! It almost took my friend from me and she fought hard and won. I hope a cure is found soon. Grateful for Vicky and all of my friends.
