Doin' the Charleston

Hi lovelies! Guess where we're off to?

Knowing me, I'm going to be dancing the Charleston in Charleston.

I'm off to Charleston, SC for my brother-in-law's college graduation! Congrats, my dear BIL (his name isn't Bil, though-- it's Josh)! I've taken a mental health day from work (now that's what I call a happy Teacher Appreciation Week) and we're off this afternoon!


Charleston is such a beautiful, iconic southern town. 

Gorgeous architecture. Such lush trees and flowers. All those painted window shutters with flowers in the windows! We visited back in September of 2009 and it seemed like the only thing I took pictures of was houses, buildings, and plants!

So incredibly charming
 I want this house.
Our beach condo. We've got another one this weekend on Folly Beach! Yippee!
I have decided that this makes me want to wear a big, floppy hat with pearls, sip on a mint julep and call everyone dah'lin. I think I might purchase said hat (I do not own a floppy hat, sadly enough) as a memento from the trip.

This is totally getting me geared up for summer.

Are you all off to any fun weekend getaways in the near future? Or, do you have an opportunity to wear a big, floppy hat with pearls, and sip on a mint julep while calling everyone dah'lin?

Discuss, and I'll be back Sunday to catch up!

I didn't get my Charleston post written yet, but the one thing you MUST try are the lavender martinis at Cypress. YUM!!! (and they don't taste like lavender...)
