Over the weekend I had to opportunity to experience my very first "Afternoon Tea" with a few of my girlfriends. It was beyond exciting for me.
My first time to do such a thing... and my first time in the Grand America Hotel.
We walked in... and I was immidietly in love!!
So much crown moulding.. fabric walls... marble and many chandeliers?
Yes please.
Everything was so fancy... I proclaimed to the girls that if felt like we were doing something
" Downton Abbey-ish"! = Did I say this was exciting????
Love. Love. Love,
" Afternoon Tea" is quite an experience.
So many teas to choose from.
Since I am not a fan of any sort of tea... I chose from some of their flavored hot chocolates.
My choice? Coconut Almond Hot Chocolate.
It was THE best cocoa I have ever had. The end.
We were sitting by the harp.. and this darling girl was so talented.
Her beautiful music kept my friend Camille's baby asleep the entire time.

Yummy Scones and Finger Sandwiches
The Desserts/Pastries
The best part of the afternoon... talking with these ladies.
It has been so long since we had been together... and it was a treat to see them and "catch up."
Emily, Me, Cami, Rachel, Camille and baby Owen ( in the car seat )
Overall Experience = Of course I loved it.. because I have expensive taste...
The scones, Cocoa and Finger sandwiches were my favorite.
The Desserts were just OK for me.
I would do it again.. just not often.. as it cost us each $18.00 each plus tax.
Super fun to experience!
LOVE the Grand America Hotel.
LOVE these ladies.
Today I am Grateful for:
My hair appointment tonight. Oh how I need it much.
Chad's service... helping so many people with their computers. I love him much.
Mary's lesson for FHE last night. Soooo cute.

WAY COOL!! I had no idea they offered such service! I knew you would love the Grand. First time I walked in there, I felt like I needed to take my shoes off. Very Beautiful! -Suzanne
Ah..that looks fun!
I can't believe you haven't been in the Grand yet! It is SO beautiful.
And I've heard of the "afternoon teas", now I am even more intrigued
Sorry I missed out. Not much in the mood for being social I guess. Did miss out on gabbing with you fun ladies.
Wow! I really would enjoy that too! So fun and happy you got to experience such a special day.
That looks like it was a lot of fun! What a beautiful hotel! I wouldn't mind going and doing that sometime! I love that there was someone there playing the harp too! The harp is so beautiful!
Enjoyed a fun afternoon of catching up! It was good to get out of the house- I felt like I hadn't seen ya'll in awhile.
What an awesome place!
That place is beautiful, and I just love seeing and listening to people play the harp!
