So, you want to have a girlfriend slumber party, but you’re not quite sure how to pull it off. Who can find an empty house as suggested in part 1 when there are kids and husbands to consider? If that’s the case, why not take your slumber party on the road? There’s no reason why you have to stay at home when there are so many other options.

The weekend before I left Connecticut, I got together with my girlfriends one last time and did just that. After considering options for houses, someone suggested staying at the casino instead. So, we booked a room with two queen-sized beds and snuck an air mattress in with us as well. We started the night off with champagne cocktails and funny photos in the room, then headed downstairs to cause some trouble in the bars and nightclubs. Many of the local San Diego casinos also offer hotel rooms that would make a great destination slumber party, including Sycuan, Harrah’s Rincon, and Barona Valley Ranch. Just a little further away in Temecula is Pechanga, which also happens to be fairly conveniently located near the Temecula wineries. Or, why not go all out and make a weekend of it… we’re talking road trip to Vegas, baby!

If casinos aren’t really your thing, why not head downtown and book a room at any number of hotels there, then get out to enjoy a nice dinner, drinks and some dancing out on the town. One of my personal favorites is Café Sevilla. The sangria there is incredible, and you can eat, drink and be merry with some dancing all in one location. Don’t worry if Sevilla isn’t what you had in mind, there really is something for everyone down at the Gaslamp. Check them out and pick a few options here.

Now leave the husbands home with the kids and get out there and enjoy each other’s company, ladies!
