A Weekend in Charleston

This year to celebrate our "big" birthdays, Sheryl and I spent a girls only weekend in Charleston.  We stayed right downtown and we were able to walk to everything.  We took our time wandering through the stores and the market and then took a walk to The Battery and Battery Park.  It was nice to just do whatever whenever we wanted.  We could stop and sit for however long we wanted and talk if we wanted or just sit in the lovely peace and quiet and just people watch.  Everyone needs a weekend like that every now and then.  I think we should make it a yearly tradition......don't you Sheryl?  We had good shrimp and grits for dinner on Saturday night (YUM!).  We met up with a long time friend on Sunday and spent a few hours hanging out at the beach together.  Then she took us to a great restaurant (Taco Mamacita) on Sullivan's Island for lunch. It was delicious!  I just love the Isle of Palms, Sullivans Island, Folly Beach, etc, etc.  I could live anywhere down there!  I swear one day I'm going to retire there. I'm already working on my kids because I won't be able to live to far from them for very long.   I've told Elisabeth that if she really wants to be a dentist then the Medical College in Charleston is a great place to go to school.  And it's a great place to live too when she gets finished with school.  Ansley is already in on the deal because she loves Charleston and would love to live there.  I believe we're on our way!
