It's been a busy day starting with early morning "up and at em" at 6 AM for Luke and Maeve. They had breakfast, got dressed, more hugs 'n kisses (you know I hate good-byes) and off they went with Auntie Brooke.
Mark and I scurried about changing the linens, finishing our packing and loading the car. We were on our way by 8:40 stopping in Rutherfordton at "Small Town Coffee Roasters" for a coffee fix. Had lunch at Arby's in St. Matthew's, SC and finally arrived in Charleston at 1:40. Found a good parking spot on the street and away we went walking thru all the historic Meeting Street shops in The Market area.
Checked into our hotel and then drove to Folly Beach (1st time for Mark). And then, our ultimate destination - Bowens Island for dinner. I came here with Kathy and Claire in 2019 but 1st time for Mark and he's certainly heard lots about this very unique, delicious low-country experience in the middle of nowhere. The parking lot had cars from FL (4), IL (4), NY (3) PA (2), UT, KY, OH (2) (and that's just the ones near our car)!
Back to our hotel and it was such a beautiful evening, so we went for a walk and ended up enjoying all the mega yachts at the Charleston Municipal Marina.
Philip, Annette, Luke and Maeve are all happy to be back together tonight - the adults really enjoyed their getaway to Savannah and Charleston. We'll be back together in about 7 weeks!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIBSON!!!
Our IL "grand dog" is ONE today!!
Tomorrow we are off to Palm Coast and hang out with Anne, Liam, Connor and Gibson for 2 days!!!
