spring break in charleston

We drove to Charleston last week and had a great time staying with our friends the Fitts and seeing a lot of other friends over the course of the week. A lot of our time was spent preparing food and having dinners with friends. The boys had a great time at the beach and visiting the Charleston aquarium.

Easily one of my favorite activities ever is watching sports on Casey's back porch (we watched almost every single first round NCAA game on Thurs and Fri- a first for me), roasting oysters, grilling whatever, and drinking cold beer looking out over the marsh.

Rest stop in NC-

We are glad to be back to work and home in CT; spring is cranking up here finally we are psyched to get our first garden going in the new house. Charleston does slow one down in the good way though- I still feel pretty laid back even after some hectic driving to get home (of the driving we will say no more).
