My gf(f24) and I (f23) can’t agree on appropriate amount of time to spend with friends

As the title says my gf and I have been fighting lately over me spending a large amount of time with my friends. For backstory I am making friends late in life. I pretty much never had friends that were actually my friends. I usually just drifted with friends of friends or my partners friends. At around July of 2024 I started to become closer with my coworkers. They are honestly great people. After a few months we started planning small trips. Mainly day trips to Texas or cities in my state (Louisiana.) The biggest trip was a weekend to Colorado. So far since July we have been to Lake Charles in December for a birthday dinner, Texas in January for a day, and this Denver trip in February. Now I mentioned that we will be going to Texas for another day trip. Basically what I am asking is to know if this truly is too much? In my eyes normal friendships spend time together wayyyy more often. I still try to make time for her and even go on our own trips together but it seems to not be not enough.

TLDR: my gf believes I spend too much time with friends but I think it’s a reasonable amount. Is the time spent with friends really too much?
