After work on Friday, we (myself, Trent, my brother & sister-in-law, and Vince) packed the car and headed to Charleston. My cousin & her family recently moved there from California,
so we are thrilled to only be a car ride away.
Vince's canine-cousin, Tucker, greeted us...
I'd be remiss not to mention that Vince threw a couple of curve balls into the trip.... He had an allergic reaction to something, his nose swelled beyond belief, he scratched causing it to bleed, and had one unmentionable incident last night. Not exactly an ideal houseguest.
Anyhow, we :
1. Walked along the bay at the end of their neighborhood....
we chatted to the fisherman & oyster harvester along the way.... ahhh, life in the low country
The beach was empty, the dogs were happy, and the tide was oddly low.
Kate convinced us to walk WAY out on an exposed sandbar.
It was worth it...
3. Relaxed & solved world problems...
Checked out the very cool 'Parade of Boats'.
Ate an AMAZING meal at High Cotton.
roamed the streets admiring the beautiful architecture, peeped in the windows of the Coleman Gallery to catch a glimpse of
Mary Whyte's breath-taking watercolors,
and imagined how the other half live as we drove by Rainbow Row on the way home
Sunday morning was a happy mix of sleepy eyes, strong coffee, yummy treats, and hearty laughs.
We headed back to Athens with happy hearts, full bellies, and a carload of 'Ben's Baked Goods'.
Thanks for a wonderful visit Larsens!
