Hanging out with a couple of girlfriends – not to study or work on a committee but just plain chilling out together on a mini-road trip was a perfect way to begin the spring 2023 season. Our purpose was to have an unstructured time with no specific agenda and catch up on conversations with the gals.
Getting together with friends, starting a road trip and getting there is more than half the fun. Some of us struggle to map out unstructured social time with our friends. However, I like to schedule time with friends and have quality visits with them for coffee, lunch, shopping, or an evening out at one of our favourite restaurants.
The overnight mini-road trip proved beneficial because it helped us confirm what matters most about friendship: carving out time, reminiscing about the great times in our lives, and shopping at unique boutiques. We all lived exciting lives and told stories about our families, friends, and colleagues. One day away with girlfriends was a time to reminisce and make new memories together. Fargo is a destination where all of us can sit back and relax and shop along Broadway Avenue. There is something for everyone in our group.
Nothing brings friends closer together than a road trip. After two years of travel restrictions, getting away and exploring a different place felt terrific. I appreciated the fact that no one spent time on their social media. The trip was an opportunity to unwind, reconnect, mellow out and recharge about life. No matter where you go, immersing oneself in the experience while creating memories with friends is essential. An all-girls escape overnight can have a therapeutic effect. Good times, hearty laughs, and fresh perspectives can renew anyone’s energy. “It’s not the destination; it’s the journey.” __Ralph Waldo Emerson
