Couple pic on the dinner cruise! (Again, one of the few bump pics you'll see of me)It was a very fun week/weekend as we headed to Charleston to celebrate my 30th bday and to have one last "couples getaway" before little T arrives in December.
The week leading up to the trip was eventful as we finally picked a pediatrician for Tyler and went out for Pho on Tuesday! Thursday morning we got on the road to Charleston just as my company officially went Public! All of my coworkers and I were extremely excited to see our CEO ring the bell on Wall Street Friday morning. It was definitely an historic moment!
Ben and I arrived in Charleston Thursday evening in time to have cocktails and appetizers on the hotel patio! Then we headed downtown where we grabbed dinner at Mad River Bar and Grille and then headed to Market Pavilion Hotel for drinks on their rooftop. Market Pavilion is one of the nicest hotels in Charleston and their view is one that certainly should not be missed.
Friday we had breakfast at our hotel and then headed downtown for a carriage tour of the city, shopping in the Market, lunch on the rooftop of the Vendue Inn, & a trip to the battery to sit on the swings and watch the ocean. We then headed to Isle of Palms to drive around the beach for a bit.
That evening, Ben arranged a special treat for me. We took a dinner cruise of Ft. Sumter that was a lot of fun! The shrimp and grits definitely hit the spot.
Saturday morning we had brunch at a local (very yummy) place called Poogan's porch...named after a deceased dog of all things.
Then we rested at the hotel for a bit before heading over to Mt. Pleasant to meet up with Leah, David and Jannell. We spent some time hanging with Leah's adorable little girl Hayden before a big group of us headed to Wild Wing Cafe to watch USC take on S. Carolina St.
We whooped some major butt and I was very proud of my Gamecocks!
Sunday, Ben and I were up early and on the road back to ATL so that we could meet Steph and Pat to watch the Redskins vs. Bucs game.
Pat and Steph are big Bucs fans and of course Ben and I love our Skins (although this season has been just terrible). The Skins pulled out a victory (barely) and Ben and I headed home to crash!
What a weekend, but so much fun!!!
