Charleston

In October we took a long-weekend trip to Charleston to celebrate our 6th anniversary. Nana and Papa kept Parker so we could enjoy some much needed alone time. We figured with another on the way this might one of your last times for a trip in a while! We had such a nice time being on our schedule for a change and took full advantage of the freedom. There isn't one square inch of the beautiful city of Charleston that we didn't explore. We spent time visiting the battery, wandering down quaint cobblestone streets and of course managed to eat some of the best food imaginable. One of the days we visited funky Folly Beach, which transported us instantly back to our care-free days living on the peninsula in Newport Beach. We did some shopping in the surf shops, ate at world-famous Taco Boy, went for a long walk on the beach (see our future beach house below) and enjoyed some cocktails (mocktails for me) as we just relaxed and got lost in the beauty of the ocean. It was such a great weekend and we can't wait to do it again soon.

These homes are amazing. This particular home must have had over 1000 different gourds and pumpkins in their gorgeous fall display!

This is quintessential Charleston- I would love to live her someday

Patrick really wanted to find out what this "club" was all about!

It was just a little windy- otherwise beautiful, sunny weather

Our view from the Marriott- thank you Will and Michael
