   Ali Bogner, a Brooklyn, N.Y., mom, left her husband and son for a rare girlfriends' getaway — with a group of women she'd never met.
   
   Yet, Bogner explained, she felt closer to some of these women than she did to her friends back in Brooklyn. They'd met and bonded as part of an online support group when they were pregnant and after their babies were born, “the amazing mommies,” as they dubbed themselves, decided they all wanted to meet. That first weekend in Dallas was such a success that the women now meet every year — most recently in Colorado. “For a lot of the girls, this is it. They don't do anything else without their families and they save all year,” said Ali Bogner
   
   The women range in age from late 20s to early 40s and come from all around the country for a few days for just one reason. “We don't have to take care of anyone else!” says Bogner. “We can just be girls. It's so much fun! And affordable.” Their most recent Colorado weekend cost just $600 a person, including food.
