Lata's Bachelorette Weekend






This weekend was Lata's bachelorette weekend!! Lata is one of my best friends. Lata, Emily (see above), and I have known each other since we were 6 years old!!!! Lata and Emily were bridesmaids in my wedding, Lata and I were Emily's bridemaids, and now it was our turn to help Lata celebrate! We all met up in Austin, Texas, and the group included several of her friends from her undergrad years at Emory University in Atlanta, GA (where Lata currently resides). First, we met at our hotel (Embassy Suites) to catch up and watch Lata open bachelorette gifts. Then we headed to an AMAZING restaurant on Lake Travis called Oasis. We had a beautiful view over the lake, and our 45 min wait turned out to be a 45 second wait...seriously! After yummy Mexican food and drinks, we went back to the hotel to freshen up. Then we headed out to Sixth Street. This is a street in Austin that is known for being a huge entertainment area...with bars, restaurants, music, etc. Saturday happened to be the last day of a huge music festival called South by Southwest, so the street was extra-packed. When we found a place with good music and drinks, Lata had to start completing her bachelorette "tasks"...some more embarassing than others! She was a great sport! Several of the girls danced at the bars, and Emily and I (the non-dancers) were able to catch up a little more. We finally made it back to the hotel very late. It was a lot of fun, and we were certainly excited to help Lata celebrate. Only a few more weeks until her wedding!! (This should be interesting...I have to wear a Sari!)
