Even though they may have married and gone their separate ways, girlfriends share a special bond. That's why many are choosing to take a vacation from family life and getaway for a weekend of Chick-Filled Fun.
Many destinations have embraced this new travel phenomenon and are creating packages exclusively for girlfriend getaways. Larger cities such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. offer lots to do and see. Girlfriend getaways often include museums, art galleries, shopping, dining out and a night at the theatre. Girlfriends who venture to Washington, D.C. can take advantage of First Fridays and cruise through the art galleries in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. The next day may be filled with visits to The Corcoran Gallery of Art known for its collection of 20th-century painting, sculpture and photography or The Phillips Collection where modern art is the focus. Virginia's Williamsburg area entices girlfriends with a day of shopping at designer outlets followed by a relaxing spa treatment at the Spa of Colonial Williamsburg. Virginia's Leesburg area in the northern portion of the state features dozens of unique boutiques, jewelry shops and art galleries as well as outlet shopping and wine tastings at nearby wineries. The weekend can be topped off with a visit to a nearby spa for an hour or two of pampering. South Carolina sets aside a weekend in October just for the girls on Pawleys Island. Girls who just want to North Carolina offers attractive girlfriend getaways that span the state, from an arts-focused vacation in Asheville to antiquing in Manteo. Spa vacations fall into the chick category and there are many spas that offer girlfriend getaway packages that include spa treatments such as manicures and pedicures, accommodations, meals and recreational activities. |
