The only time I didn’t have a drink in my hand was when I was riding a bull.
My name’s Morgan, and I write about Black culture and all things entertainment for a living.
So, when it came to finally getting into the real clubs at 21, I was fully prepared.
In fact, I was really excited to embrace this new decade of my life.
But after recently turning 34, I noticed a few changes.
I can’t hang like I used to!
Partying from sun up to sun down without a nap?
Girl, where?!
Hangovers would last a couple of hours max back in the day.
Nowadays, they last the entire day.
But that’s another reason why I wanted to put myself to the test.
Outcome: Successful!
As soon as we arrived, we grabbed the tequila and got to work!
We were surprisingly able to turn things up a notch because the tasting included bottomless prosecco!
This place was so cute.
The walls were lined with bottles of wine and champagne.
They also had this really cool machine that allowed you to extend your tasting needs.
Lucky for me, mixed in with the reds and whites was one bottle of 1800 Tequila.
So, my wine tasting turned into a tequila tasting.
I can’t tell you how excited I was for this show.
Baby, we had a time!
And all of the ladies put on one hell of a show!
There was dancing, laughter, and a ton of nostalgia.
Ugh, I truly love live performances of any kind.
After the show, we walked the boardwalk for food and, of course, more drinks!
Somehow those drinks led me to riding a mechanical bull.
Y’all, I barely lasted 20 seconds!
I’m definitely going to go back and redeem myself.
They’re known for their HUGE portions and the unique spin they put on common dishes.
My taste buds were in heaven.
After brunch, we headed to a pool party atHQ2 Beachclub,where Shaboozey performed.
He had the crowd moving and vibing to his music.
He really set the tone for the party.
They even gave me a birthday sash and more to celebrate my big day.
It was such a sweet and unexpected surprise.
My 30-plus people, don’t be afraid to take a nap.
They really hit the spot every single time.
The only mistake I made was going into my next drink order blind.
Let me tell you something, this drink felt like a slap to the face.
It might look innocent, but that drink is not for the weak.
I blame the limoncello.
The design of it was so cool.
I’d never seen anything like it.
This time around, I did not.
They’re also known for their wild pizza creations, and my tongue couldn’t have been happier.
Overall, my birthday weekend was amazing!
Each day was filled with laughter and love.
There was one literally in my hotel.
