What a wonderful weekend we had in Charleston. We got there around 7:30 on Friday night and strolled around a bit acting like tourists, I say "acting" because even though we are "technically" tourists now because we don't live there; Mikey went to college there and I have lived there as well. When you visit somewhere so often, you forget to appreciate all of the wonderful sights and attractions the city has to offer. We strolled around the battery and the waterfront park area, it was close to sunset and it was GORGEOUS.
My handsome hubby of ONE year=) Can't you tell he loves taking solo shots! Ha!
We went to Magnolia's for dinner Friday night and it was DELICIOUS. We don't go to fancy restaurants very often, it just isn't our style so much...but this was a very nice treat. (i just can't help when paying the bill thinking about what else that money could go to, ahem...CLOTHES!!) The food and service were amazing, everything was perfect. We bought a Magnolia's cookbook as part of our anniversary gift to each other, we are going to start a tradition of trying to get a cookbook or some cool keepsake from a different restaurant every anniversary. The cookbook is supposed to be amazing and it looks like it has tons of to die for Southern recipes in it, see cookbook here.
Saturday was a beach day for me. Mikey had plans to go watch the World Cup with some friends, so I packed up and met my best friend Sarah at Sullivan's for the day. It was HOT, but there was a nice breeze, a wonderful day catching up with her.
Saturday night, we had a wedding! Mikey's friend from college got married at The Citadel and then the reception was at Daniel Island Country Club....talking about a drool worthy location, wow. This place was gorgeous. Daniel Island is huge and has all sorts of different housing, hotels, businesses, etc.; this is actually where we stayed. But, the part where the country club is located... AMAZING. I want to move there, like yesterday. All of the houses were gorgeous. The wedding was beautiful and tons of fun!
Sunday morning, the day of our actual anniversary we had brunch at High Cotton, another amazing Charleston restaurant. We really did ourselves in this weekend, it was all worth the extra 5 pounds I packed on!! I didn't take any pictures on Sunday, but the specials menu did have the date!! I had crab cakes benedict, my first time...they were simply amazing. We so were not looking forward to leaving Charleston Sunday, we had a great weekend celebrating!
We ate some of our wedding cake Sunday night at home, it was umm....okay. It wasn't bad by any means, but it definitely wasn't as good as it was a year ago!
