Wow! Ten weeks of #weekend10. Where does the time go? But this one... this one didn't disappoint. I had lifelong friends - Kelly and John - visiting me here in Charleston for the past week. These two have been friends of ours since I can remember. Seriously. It's a long time. I really can't remember them not being a part of my life. We have spent family trips together, summers floating in pools and eating grilled cheese sandwiches togehter, skiing together, sledding together in the ice cold weather, and the general misbehaving that children do together. John was even my roommate in college for a short stint (Oh...those hazy days of college!). Over more recent years, we have fallen in and out of touch, but we spent the past few days reconnecting and enjoying old stories with the backdrop of amazing food in a lovely city. There is far too much to post to cover all the details of the fun we had in just 10 little photos, but here's the overview with family, friends and fun for all:
My peeps.
Farmers Market is always on the list.
The end of the Hydrangeas. Am I the only one that loves them at this stage?
Some snacks...al fresco style!
A good little lowcountry view: Marsh + Kayak + Sullivan's Island = Lowcountry still life.
A little tour of the Old Village in style.
A good old Lowcountry boil...of COURSE!
Dinner or drinks at the Sanctuary on Kiawah is one of the best ways to impress your guest.
Our fancy evening cocktails.
Our last big group supper at Rue de Jean. One of my all time favorite restaurants.
A side of bourbon. mmmmmm
What you don't see: Brunch at High Cotton. Dessert. The beach (!). Too much rain. Power shopping. Loads of laughs. Dinner at Cypress. Touristing around town. Work (how I squeezed work into this schedule is beyond me). Karate camp. And one proud boy about to receive his BLACK BELT!!! (So exciting!!!!!)
What about you? What did you do this weekend!
