Friday my mom went to her meeting and Kimberly and I had breakfast, checked out some of local shopping and met up with my mom again. We then drove up to Charleston for some outlet shopping and ate at Virginia's on King. It was like down-home southern food, but in a fancier, NYC-style place. We had fried pickles, Kimberly and I shared shrimp and grits and my mom had fried chicken with yummy sides.
Saturday, Kimberly and I got to sleep in some and then went to see the Angel Oak. It is huge. It is this old oak that is really old and very cool looking. We went back to the hotel and went down to the beach to explore. The beach in the winter is so cool - literally and figuratively. We had an impromptu photo shoot and enjoyed the beach. We left that afternoon after my mom's meeting and headed down to Savannah. Kimberly prayed and we were able to eat at Paula Deen's restaurant, The Lady and Sons. It was delicious. I had crab cakes, my mom had crabbed-stuffed shrimp and Kimberly had chicken pot pie. Kate had sleep. She was the BEST baby the whole trip, except for the time when she pooped on the girl at this little shop we were visiting. I told her she could hold her and I warned her that she hadn't pooped yesterday. Needless to say, a few minutes later it was spotted and the girl had Kate's surprise on her shirt and arm. It was a mess and I was embarrassed, but the girl laughed it off and held her again.
Sunday, we got up and headed home. It was nice to see our families again. My neighbor Lisa graciously kept Jack on Thursday and Friday and he stayed with my dad over the weekend while Craig had to work. We really enjoyed our time and felt spoiled by the valet, bell hops and turn-down service. Now, back to reality of driving our own cars, carrying our own bags and turning-down our kids beds. It was nice while it lasted...and we don't even get tips!
