August was definitely an eventful month! To end things right, Jon
whisked me away to Charleston to celebrate our 5 monthiversary! Jon
booked a room at the Hampton Inn in North Charleston about a week in
advance. Little did we know, Hurricane Irene was starting to form. The
original word was that she was heading straight for Charleston. As the
week progressed, getting closer to the weekend, she was avoiding
Charleston and heading for North Carolina. We were unable to cancel the
trip, so we packed our umbrella instead of sunscreen and hoped the
weather channel was right. We arrived Saturday around 2:30 PM, and to
our surprise, not a cloud was in sight! It was certainly a beautiful
weekend to be there. We spent the day walking around downtown through a
few of the shops on King Street and through the market. We cooled off
with Charleston Ice. It was SO yummy! Around evening time, we headed to
Isle of Palms and walked along the beach. We collected seashells and
enjoyed the beachy breeze. We checked in our hotel and went out for a
late dinner at the Noisy Oyster in North Charleston. We had the "Steam
Pot," which was filled with crab legs, oysters, clams, and shrimp all
cooked in a tomato and potato broth. It was delicious! We were a little
nervous when our waitress brought out all of the utensils, but we made
it through the meal like professionals. On Sunday, we headed for the
beach. We walked on the beach craving a tan, and walked off the beach
quite red and toasty [remember that part about packing the umbrella
instead of the sunscreen? yea.. ha]. We ate lunch at Coconut Joes for
lunch, walked along the beach one last time, and then headed home to
Greenville. Jon already had Monday off, and I decided to take the day
off as well. It was nice just to have a day to relax together. With Jon
working a lot of Saturdays now, we don't really have many afternoons
together. It was certainly a wonderful weekend, and I am so thankful Jon
was adventurous enough to plan the whole thing!
