Last weekend, we made a third trip to Charleston with the hopes of completing our house hunt. Mom was along for the trip and we had a jam-packed couple of days – we looked at rentals, we looked at houses for sale, we met with a builder’s representative, we tried out some new restaurants (and grabbed some wonderful crepes for breakfast at Charleston’s weekly farmers’ market), we got Phillip’s medical exam completed, and we got me sworn in to the South Carolina bar. Busy, but productive. Here are a few shots from our latest adventure:
We had Sunday brunch at The Early Bird Diner. There was a line down the sidewalk before it even opened!
Phillip enjoyed a fried green tomato version of Eggs Benedict.
Mom had a scrambled egg type dish with delicious fresh fruit.
Naturally, I went with Chicken & Waffles.
Enjoying breakfast together in Charleston.
We also checked out a local favorite, Poe’s Tavern, on Sullivan’s Island. We enjoyed delicious specialty burgers and homemade french fries on the front porch.
My awesome boursin/blue cheese burger.
Had to be quick to catch this shot of Phillip's red pepper goat cheese burger - he knocked it back in a flash!
After some frantic rental searching on Monday morning, we were off to Columbia for the bar swearing in ceremony.
My wonderful mother and me just before the ceremony.
This was just after I had what must have been a hot flash in the lobby of the arts center.
Just before the bar ceremony, we reached an agreement with the owner of a condo on James Island that we will be renting in the short term. What a relief it is to finally have housing secured! After several hundred miles of driving, we were back to Alabama with several checks off of our list. And on top of it all, I got to spend the weekend with two of my favorite people – win.
