Mini Getaway



One good thing happened in February and that was Dave had a whole week off for vacation. We dropped Mia off at my mom's house and had our first night away from her. Dave was exhausted from working a billion hours that week but we still had a great trip. Where did we go? Charleston, SC baby!! I LOVE Charleston. If you live anywhere near that city GO THERE. I thought it was a fitting trip for Valentine's Day weekend. It is incredibly fun and not like any other city. Charleston has so much history (Civil War started there at Fort Sumter) and the houses are like nothing you've ever seen before. It was surprisingly cold when we went but I was so excited to show Dave my favorite city and we had a great time. It snowed the night before we got there (it was all melted when we arrived) but the town was packed. That's how much people love this friendly city. We stayed in the historic downtown at the Vendue Inn and saw as much in 24 hours as we could. I actually had never been to Fort Sumter so we went on a tour and even though it was windy and cold it was fun. Mia had a great time with her Gramma and we had some relaxing southern fun. Seriously, if you haven't been to Charleston you haven't experienced the south.


Amazing fountain in Waterfront Park. In the summer you can wade in it because it's just that hot.


Pictures you take of yourself are just not that great.


I asked that seagull to fly right between the bridge just to get this picture.


We ate dinner at Hank's Seafood Restaurant and it was AMAZING. It's one of those places where you get up from your table and come back and your napkin has been refolded and placed on the back of your chair. Before you could ask for something it magically appeared on your table. Delicious fresh seafood that I crave right this minute.
