Can you say - ROAD TRIP??  Girls…let’s celebrate a job well done….buying pencils, getting school clothes, having all the haircuts - you know all the MOM stuff! (Getting the kids ready to go back to school)  You deserve some time away and I have the perfect excuse for you to recharge!  For those of you who are regular blog readers - you read about me going camping with some of our clients in their Airstream camper a few weeks ago.  Lot’s of you wrote in and told me that you agree with my idea of camping.  With this in mind I am making this year’s “Girls Night Out” a camping trip to Atlanta.  The camp I have selected is my favorite sleepaWay camp.

No Counselors. No Curfew.  Sneak away for W Hotels SleepaWay Camp.

Sneak away for a summer night or two in the city, SleepaWay Camp style. Your exclusive W Hotels experience includes:

A two room W Suite - complete with a Heavenly Bed and a Heavenly Bath!

• Sophisticated s’mores treat delivered to your room.
• In-room campfire DVD for that cozy camp feeling.
• W Postcards to tell your loved ones that you never want to leave!
• Two Bug Juice Cocktails for a good bug- we mean buzz.
• A super summer-camp room you’ll love!

We will travel to Atlanta of Friday, August 24th and on Saturday, August 25th we will visit the Annie Leibovitz photography exhibit at High Museum of Art.  Annie is a world class photographer who’s client list is in my opinion, the undisputed “Best of the Universe.”  John Lennon, presidents, movie stars and recently the Queen of England have all been in front of the lens of her camera.  She has inspired me throughout my career.  You have seen her images - but probably had no idea she took them.  (other examples: Covers on Rolling Stone, Vogue, Vanity Fair and even Demi Moore’s preggie portrait)

Enjoy viewing inspiring photography in one of the most incredible museums in the world, check out some great shopping, have a great meal or two and stay at my favorite hotel without bedtimes and the normal night-time drills we all have to do.  Just the girls….celebrating, enjoying other mommy company and taking a much needed break!

You will come home inspired, refreshed and relaxed.  Don’t miss this unique opportunity!

I have reserved five of the W Hotel’s best suites for the weekend.  This Dutch treat event will be loosely scheduled to give you as much down time as you wish.  We plan to leave Statesboro around lunch on Friday, August 24 and car pool to the W Hotel which is located in the Perimeter Mall area on the north side of Atlanta.  On Saturday we will tour the Leibovitz exhibit at the High Museum.  After the High we will check out some boutique shops and then enjoy dinner as a group.  Sunday will be your day to sleep as long as you want and enjoy the hotel.

We want this to be a fun weekend get away for you.  With this in mind, you can stay two nights or just one.  The Hotel for two nights with the suite and sleepaWay package and a ticket to the High will be around $500. (single occupancy)  You can downgrade the room and choose to stay one night - if you wish.  Or you can grab a girl friend to share the cost and enjoy a great - fun weekend away.

This trip is available to current or past Lori Grice clients.  However, if you have a friend that wants to come along with you and is not currently a client - then they are welcome as your guest!

If you are a professional photographer, aspire to be a professional photographer or simply want to scope me out for Uncle Bob who is about to give up his profession as a brain surgeon to begin a lucrative and fruitful career in photography - this is GREAT!  We have a special day designed just for you on Friday, August 23.  We will tour the Leibovitz exhibit together and then have a late lunch where we will discuss the images in the exhibit in more technical detail. No matter whether you are a client, friend or have never heard of me - this day is designed for you - if you have an interest in photography at a professional level.

Deadline:  August 17
