We’ve all been to Super Bowl parties. Too often they consist of a sofa full of guys cheering and high-fiving while they gulp down beer and chips. Meanwhile, their hapless wives and girlfriends make awkward small talk by the veggie tray and check their watches every few minutes.
If you are in search of another way to celebrate Super Bowl, why not try something different this year and take a road trip to Rosemary Beach, Fla.? The Rosemary Beach Foundation has planned a Super Bowl weekend girls getaway February 2-5. Set to a Mardi Gras theme, here is a list of activities planned for the weekend:
