This past weekend I went on a (very long awaited) girl’s trip to Charleston, SC. We’ve been talking about this trip for YEARS, and this year we finally made it happen! It was SO. MUCH. FUN!! 7 of us rode 8+ hours there and back in a Suburban together. No radio the whole way there ~ just a lot of talking and a whole lotta’ laughing! A couple of the girls were my Phi Mu pledge sisters in 1993 and the others I have known since college as well and we had a BLAST! I found a cute condo on VRBO in Folly Beach and this was our back porch view.
Here are “the girls”!! One of the 8 lives in Charleston, so we actually visited there to see her and this was after brunch at her house before we headed downtown to go shopping!
Of course we visited the Markets downtown. I didn’t buy a basket ($$$) but I did sneak a picture of this sweet lady making one. Before we hit the market we hit a HUGE Forever 21 store that just opened in an old Saks building in January. It was PACKED and we were in HEAVEN!!
This was a shot going across the bridge heading downtown.
Here is where the Market starts on Meeting Street and it was fun to walk through!
I took like 75 pictures but mostly of us girls. We ate at Fleet Landing Friday night and Taco Boy (Folly Beach) Saturday night. Both were EXCELLENT! If there were a Taco Boy in Montgomery we’d be in trouble! It was so fun and so yummy! We made a vow to do this girls trip from now on once a year, so in 2012 we will reunite!
I got home at exactly 4:30 last night, said HI to my family, showered and we headed to church for a 5:30 service. Church again tonight, church dinner tomorrow night and church again Wednesday night followed by Bunko Thursday night. It is our Missions Conference this week so busy busy busy! Jeff did work on a few new AC designs while I was gone, but I haven’t seen them yet. Back to REALITY….
Other exciting news ~ there will be another “event” (meet & greet) in June at TJ’s Fabric. Teresa has invited me to come down for the day and hang out. It will be on a Saturday (date TBA) and she is currently coordinating my visit with her fabric reps. Evidently the fabric reps will be sending some really cool pieces made with their fabrics for everyone to see (and get ideas from). She mentioned bags, pillows and other things being on display for all of you “sewers”. I’m not sure if the items will be for sale or just display; she is working out those details with the reps. I will keep you posted! I might be visiting my parents next week so if I get a chance I may ride over to TJ’s and take some pictures and get more info!
