I want to give a Girls' Night Out for my sister-in-law for Christmas. I've been thinking of a cooking class together, or an event with a coffee after... I'm fairly new to the area so I thought I'd ask you knowledgeable moms. Do you have any good Mom's Getaway ideas? Both my sister-in-law and I are stay-at-home moms of young kids and just getting out would be great! It could be an evening outing or a Saturday. We love good books, good food and a good time!
I'm not sure where you live, but Julep Salon by the U-Village does Girls Nights with manicures/pedicures...They can move the chairs around so you can sit by each other, and I think you can bring wine too! Another fun thing to do would be to go up to the resort at the casino in Marysville (there's a spa) and then go shopping at the outlet mall. Have fun!
E.- this is a SUPER area - depending on where you live. There is a fabulous books store - complete with both a coffee '''bar''' and Honey Bear Bakery inside ( it's HUGE). Third Place books in Shoreline is in a tiny -- sort of mall called Lake Forest Park. -- Bothell Way and Ballinger Way-- the books store has tons of areas where there are couches, and lamps set up for people to cozy down and read or chat -it's my '''''' club''' -- . If you are a bit more south- Wallingford Center in the University District is INCREDIBLE - bakerys and coffee and fantastic shops with things for us ladies and things for kids - oh, I love Wallingford Center -- very unique. I will watch with interest to see what I have been missing- as I know the Moms here will '''fill you in'' -- Blessings.

The theaters around here have some great shows. I just went out last night to the Greenlake bathouse theatre and the tickets were only $25 and we saw "Santaland Diaries". It was a one man stand up comedy show and it was amazing. Went out to dinner before at "Kabul" afghanistan cuisine in Wallingford. Look up "restaurants.com" - they have great deals on buying $25 gift certificates for $10 and they are super easy to print out - I love using them. After the show we went out for drinks at a local pub and had an great evening. Good Luck!
My girlfriend and I plan a night out away from the kids and husbands every couple of months. We go to dinner then to a play at the Paramount or 5th Ave. It is a wonderful night out and we get plenty of time to talk and catch up at dinner. Once a year we run away to the ocean and my wonderful husband takes the kids. He says he loves it as I come home so relaxed and refreshed. One year we went and saw the Nutcracker which neither of our husbands cared to see.
Hope that this helps
Hi E.,
Comedy is always a great thing to do. Not sure which area you live in, but you can google comedy and then your zip code. WE always have a blast doing that for GIrls night!!!
Merry Christmas and Blessings,
