Hilary had her wedding shower in Massachusetts this weekend. Alex and I drove back to Philadelphia from North Carolina on Friday and then I headed to Massachusetts early Saturday morning. It was a lot of driving, but I'm so glad I went. The shower was held at The Colonel Blackinton Inn. I had a blast meeting many of Hilary and Shawn's family members and it was nice to spend more time getting to know Hilary's other bridesmaids. The shower was a huge success. I think Hil and Shawn can already fill their new kitchen in Virginia!
The invitations were adorable.

This is the back of the inn. It was very pretty!
The picture table!
The cake was amazing. It had one of the best frostings I have ever tasted.
One of the party favors. Hilary and Shawn love to fish so the shower had a fishy theme :)
The tables were so cute! I got to sit with the Bride to Be!
The other party favor was jam wrapped in a pretty dish cloth with a fish spreader. The jam is fantastic.

After the shower, we went to Hilary's final dress fitting. The dress was amazing and fit perfectly! When the fitting was finished, we got some yummy ice cream and Hilary gave me a tour of Providence and Brown University. It was Hilary's Gram's 89th birthday, so we went over to her house for dinner. Hilary's family is just lovely and I can't wait to spend more time with them at the wedding. After dinner, we headed over to Amy's house for a bonfire party. I had an amazing weekend in New England and can now add three more states to my list of visited places!
