Charleston!

Sorry I have been on a hiatus. I have been incredibly busy but also boring (is that possible?) with nothing to post about until now...

Matt and I spent this past weekend in Charleston. I miss Charleston so much and always get antsy to go back there when I haven't been in awhile. We decided Valentines weekend would be the perfect time to go. We stayed at Meeting Street Inn which I LOVED! It was so convenient and a plus was that they have complimentary breakfast and happy hour with wine and cheese everyday. Our room was awesome with a great view of Meeting St and we could see Market Street from our window. 





We got there early Friday night and had dinner at...



It was delicious as usual. Coast Crab Soup is my absolute favorite! Than we went out to Brick, Squeeze and Wet Willies (haha!)
Saturday we woke up and headed to Mt Pleasant...



For lunch at Paiges Okra, they have the best southern food! From there we headed to Sullivans Island to walk on the beach for a little while. It was still chilly but the sun was out and the beach was beautiful which makes me super excited for Spring and even more excited for our family trip to IOP in June!



Then we went to the market to go shopping before going back to get ready for dinner. We decided to eat dinner at Poogans Porch, I had not been there in like 6 years but it was pretty good, and we had the peanut butter pie which was delicious! Poogans Porch is in an old house on Queen St (very Charleston) and I love the atmosphere there.




We went to Mad River then to meet Marshall and Chrissie at Social. We ended the night at Tsunami, it was a fun time.
 
Sunday I met Chelyse, (a high school friend of mine that I had not seen in awhile) and her bf at Toast for brunch and mimosas- it was good to catch up. 
 
Before we headed back to Charlotte we went to King St. which was blocked off for the day. It was a warm and beautiful day,, there were street vendors and  people walking their dogs everywhere. There was also a Wheres Waldo Pub Crawl that day so the Waldos were everywhere! I made a quick stop at Willie Jays, one of my favorite stores there and found a fun dress. Last, we grabbed some ice cream and just walked around for a little while before heading back to Charlotte. I had such an awesome time, it was a great weekend!

On Monday (Valentines Day) I got these beautiful roses delivered to my work and Matt and I had dinner at BLT steakhouse. It was the perfect Valentines Day (and weekend) with my Valentine!
