Weekend girls trips are a MUST for summer. Like I said in my summer activities post, weekend girls trips are the best, short getaways for the summer. They allow you to unplug and really spend quality time with your best friends.
So this weekend we headed to Jersey City for the night. My friend Jess’s sister lives in Newport with her fiance, and they kindly invited us to stay for the night and go out on the town. Let me tell you, they’re living the life! Their apartment looks over the water and the New York City skyline. It has an insane balcony that allows you to take it all in.
I worked in the city until 5:30 p.m. then I walked to the 33rd street station and took the path into Newport. I told my friends I was pretending I was walking back to my apartment in Jersey City (LOL, just dreaming).
After we all settled in, we walked to an amazing downtown like area. It reminded me of how I picture Nashville to be. I’ve never been to Nashville, but in my head, this area of Newport is how I imagine Nashville to look and feel. Does that make sense?
So we headed back to the apartment, played fun card games and went to bed.
The next day was my favorite day. We walked to an adorable side street restaurant and passed beautiful brownstone homes on the way (I love how everything is walkable)! The restaurant had a huge brunch menu and it all sounded so yummy, I was having a hard time choosing what to get. I ended up getting avacado quinoa toast. I wasn’t expecting this, but the quinoa toast was fried quinao in the shape of bread, it was SO good and different.
Then we walked back to the apartment and were on our way home! It was a super short weekend girls trip but we did so much in a short amount of time. A huge thank you to Jess’s sister taking us to all the best spots in Jersey City and housing five girls for a night!
It looks like this was the last summer weekend girls trip 🙁 until next year!
My next post will have all the details on my outfit!
Looks like lots of fun!
