The Friday night dinner and game night.... well, no one left hungry but we did leave with our sides and cheeks aching from laughing so much! Partying at Carribean Jacks with Melanie's husband playing in the band.
The Beach Ceremony for Gail ..... with Ian at your side showed the Love of Sisterhood that filled us all with a heartwarming vibes.
Gail’s Memorial Ride was beautiful down riverside drive and so emotional.... as we rode with our knees in the Breeze to Honor our Canadian Sister!
The afternoon of fun with the Wine Walk, and then dinner at Clancy's Cantina for more fun.
Everyone working together just for the littlest tasks made our Sisterhood of Motor Maids a Well oiled Machine!
