Father-Daughter Weekend Trip


This past weekend my dad and I went on a super fun and relaxing trip to Charleston, SC. Thursday after work Dad met me in Saint Augustine and we headed on our way. For most of the trip we were able to ride with the top down which was super nice. Definitely made me miss my old jeep. 


I was kind of scared I was going to drop my camera for this. Trying to capture the moment.
Friday we wandered around Charleston and the local area. Charleston is full of beautiful houses. The area by the beach was so nice.  Friday night we went to a DELICIOUS restaurant called S.N.O.B. (Slightly North of Broad). We sat right in front of the open kitchen, it was fun to be able to watch everyone work. 




After dinner we headed to a movie theater and watched Red 2. I thought it was really great, Dad said the first one was even better. Definitely a good movie to watch in a theater. 


Saturday morning we decided to go and walk around more, just in case we missed anything. When we stepped outside of the hotel we were happy to find the local farmers market right outside our front steps! I loved it. Definitely one of my favorite markets. So many wonderful local delicacies and cool art.


 After a bit of walking around and getting lunch we headed back to the hotel for a nap and some relaxing. Then it was time for the surprise! Barenaked Ladies concert featuring Guster and Ben Folds Five. Oh man, so fun! We had a blast!

This is a super typical look that my father gives. 


Did I mention second row?

I love Father-Daughter trips. They make my heart happy. I am thankful to be blessed with such a great family.

:)

I have not been blogging as much as I used to. Ho well. 

A while ago most of my best girlfriends went out to the farmhouse for our KagDubsII weekend. It's pretty much one of my favorite times of the year. We relax and laugh the whole time. We catch up with eachother. We vent to one another. It's our supremely safe place and we love it. This years trip was filled with yummy food, swimming in the pool, enjoying the soaking tub, lounging on the amazing porch, playing cards, and going down the slip-n-slide. Oh, and playing Quelf. And painting nails. 

I love these girls. For those of you who could not make it this year, know that you were missed. We hope you can join next year!

Cruisin'

Even though so much time has gone by since our cruise, I still have the pictures to prove that it actually did happen and it wasn't just a dream. We had so much fun! See:


Cally and Tori drove the car back home for us.





View from our room. So lovely.

We were quite excited.



Winners.

Our favorite spot.

Last sunset.
After we got back from the cruise we quickly stepped back into reality. Upon arrival our dear friends, Zach and Jayce, informed us that our sweet little Scooby had passed away while we were gona. We don't really know what happend. Cally was house sitting at the time, so when I found out I immediately felt bad for her. Definitely the worst thing that can happen when you're housesitting. 

RIP little guy.
The following weekend Zach and I witnessed a tragic boating accident while night fishing with our friend Mitch. Another sobering reminder that we were no longer on our happy little cruise. The next day I decided to go ahead with my planned trip to Micanopy with Cally and Colleen. I figured it was better to get out of the house than to stay in and ponder the events of the night before. Micanopy is a super cute little town and it's also about 18 miles away from a Trader Joes. Cally, Colleen, and I wandered around the tiny town in search of treasures. We enjoyed lunch (and ice cream) in front of an adorable cafe right in the middle of town. So fun and so nice to spend some time with my lovely friends.

Our first stop was so fun!



Cally purchased her very own Ukulele. I just tried one out (for pictures).



We found a dog that looks just like Scout!

Dad should build this.
We had a wonderful relaxing day. Now I am nannying and this weekend is KAG Dubs! I am sooo excited! 

Love you.
