Seabrook Sunday Funday.

Yesterday, instead of taking the boat out, we joined our friends at the beach on Seabrook Island. It was so relaxing (except maybe for the surplus of love bugs everywhere) and fun to just hang out with everyone with no real agenda or place to be.

The picture that is sure to melt all of your hearts. It surely melted mine as I was taking it. Little Dallas loved playing with his buddy, Cameron. 

  

Our fellas, minus Grant. 

Fine lookin' group of guys, if I do say so myself. 

Dallas being silly.

 

 Little Lane enjoying the shade.

 The funniest part of the day was when Chris, Kathryn's husband, all of the sudden took off sprinting down the beach. Come to find out, he had spotted a runaway kite that was coming our way and he wanted to capture it. Little Dallas thought he was the biggest hero for that!

 

Sunday Not-So-FunDay.

Saturday night everyone was talking about and getting pumped up for the first Sandbar Sunday of 2014. Come Sunday around noon and the skies are super overcast, and it's not as warm as we all expected. On to plan B. House work. Yay. Just playing, I actually enjoy a low key day of housework every now and then. Feels so good when everything you set out to do is complete. 

We started out by taking the hallway doors off of their hinges so that we could paint them. After making a Lowe's list and eating lunch (French dips - yum!), Cameron went to go grab a quick shower. Well, that didn't happen because there was no hot water. Awesome.  So he goes to investigate and I go work on my hallway bathroom grout project that desperately needs to get finished.

I finished and can't wait to show you the final result!

 While I'm in there, I notice that I hear the sound of running water. Is the dishwasher running? No. Is there a load of laundry in the washing machine? No. So I mention it to Cameron. He doesn't really think much of it. He winds up calling plumber #1 to come take a look at our hot water heater. Plumber says heating element is fine and leaves. I mention to Cameron that the running water sound is still going on so he investigates. Thinks we may have a busted pipe. Awesome.  Calls another plumber to come out because our hot water heater still isn't working, and if we have a busted pipe, that would suck. 

Well guess what? We have a busted pipe under the office.

Awesome. 

So that was our Sunday! 

But, the fact that we spent it together and this homemade pizza for dinner made it all better!

 

Weekend Recap + Menu Monday.

Monday again already?!? I need one more day to sleep in!!

 

Friday night was lowkey - grilled some steaks, picked up this sweater from Target, and saw Skyfall.

 

Saturday was my work Christmas party. It wasn't a blast, but it was nice talking to everyone outside of work. The food was good!

 

Sunday we went to brunch at Sunrise Bistro with Emily, Caroline & Andy, then we headed downtown for Second Sunday on King Street! It was Cameron and my first time going to Second Sunday and we loved it! Ok, maybe I enjoyed it a tad more than Cameron since there was a lot of browsing in the store. Loved seeing all of the dogs, familiar faces and discovering new stores.



Me, Emily & Caroline with our King of Pops popsicles. The chocolate sea salt is SO SO GOOD!!



 

15 days until Christmas!!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Sunday...Funday?

After the craziness of Celebrate Kiawah (event was a success but atleast 800 people came!), I thought a nice Sunday spent kayaking would be a great way to relax. Little did I know that our "relaxing trip" would turn out to be 8.2 miles roundtrip!

We met Cameron's brother and soon-to-be sister in law at his Aunt & Uncle's house, where the kayaks were located, at about 1:30pm. We loaded up the kayak's and were on our way. We decided to make our way to Stono Cafe for some drinks and appetizers. I knew it would be a little trek, but I didn't know how MUCH of a trek it would be. Once we got to the restaurant at around 3:30pm we ordered some bloody mary's and listened to the live music. It was a beautiful day!

I was a little hesitant to make the long journey back but Cameron wasn't going to let me quit. We passed the time by singing "Row Row Row Your Boat" and goofing off. We made it home around between 6-6:30pm I think. Below is a map of our journey!

All in all, I'm glad we did it! It got us outside to enjoy the day and it was a new experience for the both of us! My arms are sore and and I'm a little sunburnt today (I did put on sunscreen Mom & Dad, I just missed a few spots), but hearing Cameron tell me he was proud of me at the end made it all worth it. :)

Sandbar Sunday

Yesterday was a standard Sunday - we hopped looked for the key to the boat lift for about an hour, only to find out that it was on the boat. Once we finally found the key, we loaded up and drove the short distance to the good ol' sandbar.

I wasn't expecting a big turn out of fellow boaters, assuming everyone would be hungover from the Rockville Regatta on Saturday, but there was actually a good crowd! Cameron's friend, Justin, had a boat full of of people and the BFF met us out there, too! Jason's boat ran out of gas so we had to tow him back to the dock..didn't make it home until around 10pm, which means getting out of bed this morning was NOT easy.

My Seester, Emily & Me

my cute fellas :)

This is what happens when I ask Cameron to put sunscreen on my back
