MAE ON, THAILAND

For my last hurrah before leaving, the girls and I headed for an overnight in Mae On, about an hours drive from Chiang Mai in a direction none of us had traveled before. We saw spectacular mountain views, as is indicative of this province, and spent ever moment laughing and acting crazy, as is indicative of us.

We stayed at Chiang Mai Highlands Golf and Spa Resort, a place Katie stumbled upon with an incredible deal for the four of us. Plus, we had the entire place to ourselves! There was a gorgeous infinity pool we took much advantage of, rolling hills of golf course and Emily made sure we did our fair share of photoshooting. As the rain started rolling in, we ate dinner at the hotel restaurant and settled into for a night of festivities: dance parties, movies and snacks followed by a lantern lighting and lifting which was probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.

We left the resort the next morning for The Giant Chiang Mai, a treehouse, homestay and restaurant a little ways back toward town. We sat over the rainforest and drank coffee, and Emily and I ended up finally zip-lining in the jungle, because why wouldn't you want to do that?

I can't begin to describe how much these girls mean to me, I was so fortunate to get to spend such unique time with them, and lots of it.
