Last weekend was my Bachelorette party. My sisters and best friend organized it, and it was incredibly fun. They asked if I would have done anything different had I planned it myself, and I said no – a sign of how well they know me, I think!

The weekend featured local Portsmouth breweries, great homemade pizza, a dear friend’s newborn baby, sing-shouting at a piano bar, windy winter beach walks, and one VERY cold plunge into the Atlantic.
