All of us are pretty big DBF fans...I have read all of her books, I love quite a few....Plantation, Shem Creek, Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms...some of her newest ones aren't as good, but they are still great beach reads! Mikey and I go to Sullivan's Island/Isle of Palms area a good bit because we have friends that live in Mt. Pleasant, we love to go to the beach at Sullivan's and then to all the bars there afterward. As I mentioned previously, this past weekend was my Aunt's Birthday celebration and the women in the family (minus one Aunt who couldn't make it!) headed to Isle of Palms for the weekend for a girls get away. We thought it would be fun to go to the places that DBF talks about in so many of her books. Mikey just thought this was quite comical and dubbed our trip the DBF bar crawl. Yeah, we were being major tourists, but who cares! It was fun.
This is all of us at Atlanticville, where the main character of "Lowcountry Summer" works. It was absolutely delicious, and the waiter even told us that DBF comes in quite a bit...along with our pretty famous first lady, Jenny Sanford! The food was simply amazing, the restaurant is tucked away on Sullivan's about a block past the "busy" section of bars and restaurants. It is quite cozy in an old renovated house, so quaint and cute!
My mom, who was in charge of the planning....got us all matching visors with our initials on it as part of our "gift bags!" Here all of us are enjoying a gorgeous day on the Isle of Palms.
We stayed on Isle of Palms the first night and ate at Huck's Lowcountry Table...let me say one word, WOW. They had these shrimp hushpuppies...ohmygawww they were delicious! I could have and probably did eat about the whole basket.
Sunday was spent W-O-R-K-I-N-G! We had new tenants moving into the house that my dad owns and I (luckily, ha!) get to "manage" for him and we had lots of stuff to do to get ready. Mikey and I literally worked over there from 1 - 9 and it was hot.
We had a special treat last night, two of my best friends in the WHOLE world (just for you Jenn!! Cause I know you are like the only one that may read...don't stop now! ha!) came into town for dinner. They both live out of town....tear, and we don't get to see them very much. We decided that a perfect girls night would take place at our ole standby and stomping grounds Za's. Gahhh, what fun girls nights are....and even more fun when special out of town visitors get to join!
Tonight, we are heading to Augusta to Mikey's moms house to pick up a piece of furniture. One of her friends offered to make us something for our wedding gift and it is finally finished. I am so excited and can't wait to see what it looks like. I requested a built in cabinet of sorts that will look kind of like a window seat to go in my den. I will finally, sing hallelujia... have a place to put all the stupid cords that come along with TV's, DVD players and friggin X-boxes!! You don't even understand how happy this makes my OCD/neat freak self. Oh happy days!
In other exciting news, Mikey and I get to keep my precious niece Belle this Friday night...this is the first time she has ever spent the night with us. I am beyond thrilled. I hope she has so much fun and will always want to come visit Aunt Caroline, Uncle Mikey and Milly! She LOVES her some Uncle Mikey and Milly=)
Okay, back to work I go!
