Girls' Nite Out!!

What about ten of us did is do a dinner and a game -- board game, card game (no Bunko). You could use the kid's games even, like Chutes and Ladders, Twister. We played spoons (it's like musical chairs, but with cards and spoons.) We did We rotated houses and kicked the husbands and kids out of that house for the night. You could do it potluck, and/or as a theme night. I'm getting ready to start a monthly wine tasting, with cheese, crackers, fruit, chocolate....

Hi T.! Maybe not now but for an especially fun, planned outing set up a spa pampering session! You're energized, revitalized and feel especially pampered afterwards! Mani, pedi, massage and lunch or dinner always works for me! Enjoy!

Free Salsa lessons have popped up at many of the local Mexican restaurants. It's a blast...give it a try!

Main Event in FW is lots of fun. They have bowling, pool tables, laser tag (tons of fun) and lots of arcade style games for kids and adults. Sort of like a Dave and Buster's if you've ever been there. Anyway, at 11 or midnight all kids under 18 must leave so its mostly adults.

T.,

Have you ever been to 4-Day Weekend in Downtown FW? It's standup improv. It is very funny and would be a good change of pace. It is next to Reata if you know where that is, and of course there are lots of restaurants to choose from. Have a great time!

Have you all tried scrapbooking? There are local scrapbook shops that host crop nights til midnight and dinner is served. It is usually 15-20.oo per person.

A girlfriend of mine just got together with some friends of hers from work for a girls night out and they went roller skating. She said it was a blast. They went to dinner, had a couple of drinks and then at 11:00 when the kids had to leave the rink they went over to roller skate. She said it was an 80's themed night at the rink which made it more fun.

I am in Mansfield and they just opened up a new Winery, www.miavino.com and I have been there with a few people and you can do wine tasting. They are open during the day on weekends. Or yall could try the pampering route and go to a spa.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Go to WinStar in Oklahoma. There are 5 girls, including me. We have been going to Winstar & Given up the movie, dinner thing. It's only about an hour & 15 min away. Just spend the same amount you would on movie & dinner. STRICT RULE! We are not big spenders & really do stick to our budgets. Usually at least 2 or 3 of us will come back with more than we started. But the atmosphere is so Positive, & we act like idiots (Like we are in our living rooms)& have a blast. No more dinner & movies, here.

Concerts! There's a great local band playing at the House of Blues in Dallas Saturday night and they are definately worth the drive! Here's the link to their myspace. http://www.myspace.com/thecampaignmusic

Hyena's is a comedy club in Sundance Square DT FT. Worth. My friends and i went last Sat night and laughed til our faces hurt. The only down side of the club is they permit smoking inside.
Good luck finding a home for your dog.

I have 7 brothers, so I get together with my nieces and sisters-in-law once a month. If you're able to plan, some salons have techs who will do mani/pedi nights at home (you can even get a massage therapist, too). Takes a little notice, but we've done that for a girls' night out before. Oddly enough, we've gone bowling...only a couple of us were any good, but you spend a couple of minutes throwing a ball down the lane and the rest of the time laughing and having a great time. Sounds crazy, but we actually visited more during those times than any other. If we're in a hurry, we'll go have dinner at a slower paced restaurant (El Fenix is not so noisy) and sit and visit/eat.

think bowling, rollerskating, things like that. i still love sports even as an adult.

What about taking the train to downtown Dallas for sightseeing or shopping. I have taken my kids on the train and they loved it. Me and some friends took the train and went to the cupcake bar off Mockingbird. It was something different. I sent out evites to all of them and we all had a great time. Check out different events they have going on. Go to guidelive.com to see what's going on.

Have fun! It's great that you do this. I have tried to get my friends to do this on a monthly basis but it has yet to happen. Once for mother's day I had all my friends bring covered dishes to my house and two of my friends had teenagers who did a craft with the kiddos to give to the moms when they left. I ask everyone to bring a candle so that everyone went home with a gift. I took some pretty decorated card stock and printed a really nice Mother's Day poem on it and gave it to each of my guest. I still see it posted on my friends refrigerators till this day.

bowling, puttputt, mainevent it pretty cool and they kick out anyone under 18 at 10 or 11

I have been getting together with 7 lady friends most of us have known each other for 10+ years, a few 25+ years, we are now about 50 yrs young. We like to go to our local communty theatres, here in mid cities, Onstage at Bedford and Artisan off Pipeline Rd. This weekend we will go to Onstage and see the play Le Cage Aux Follies (the birdcage-newest movie version was with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane) The Artisan is doing "Driving Miss Daisy til March1 . Both of these theatres put on good productions for very reasonable price ($ 17.00 Onstage and Artisan a little less)
We also have done museum trips, spent a Sat morning in downtown Grapevine and shopped their shops then lunch in tearoom there, we spent the weekend in Granbury TX about anhour drive from Ft. Worth, we did the Body works exhibit in Dallas last year, we like to eat so usually do lunch or dinner with any activity. Good luck hope this gives you some ideas. D.

Also, consider the museum.
This is from the Modern Art Musuem of Fort Worths website.

Hi T.... I hope I'm doing this right because this is my first time responding on this site. what a nice thing for you and your sisters to get together that way. It keeps the bonds strong between you girls and plus you must get together to feed off of each others strengths and power. There is a new area in Arlington called The Highlands, located at I-20 and Matlock Road. It's just like a mall as there are many, many stores. But it's not all inside like a mall. Each store has it's own entrance. Very nice place. There is a restaurant called Mimi's. They have excellent food and there is a bar. Again, it's a nice quaint place for you ladies to hang out. It's nice and clean cut and I really think you ladies would like it. And then there is Hyenna's Comedy Club on Arkansas and 360. Just go online and look up the comedy club to see who's gonna be there. That should make a super night for you ladies. Take care and have fun. :)
