A Trip to Charleston

A few weekends ago we traveled to Charleston for a long weekend with Brad's grandparents. They rented a house on Sullivan's Island for the whole month of January and we decided it would be a good opportunity to visit with them as well as Brad's sister Leah, who also lives in the area. While we were there we enjoyed lots of good food (thanks to Brad's grandma and Charleston's wide array of amazing restaurants) as well as great time with family. Here are a few of our personal highlights of the trip;

Brad got to eat at Kickin Chicken on Saturday for lunch, his favorite place to eat in Charleston! They have this Buffalo Chicken Sandwich that he loves. These days he loves anything with hot sauce and frequently grabs the Frank's to put on whatever we are eating for dinner. He's even made wings a few times with the fryer Leah got him for Christmas...yummy!

Ellie loved watching and living with Sassy, Grandma & Papa's dog for a few days. She really liked Sassy more from a distance rather than close up, but she never got too upset. One night while eating dinner Ellie figured out that if she dropped food on the floor Sassy would stay close by to eat it. Needless to say, Sassy had quite a feast that night. Ellie also loved spending time playing with her Aunt Leah and Gi Gi too!

My personal highlight was not having to plan, cook, or clean our meals. I offered to help but Grandma told me to rest, and I gratefully obliged.

Grandma and Papa, thank you for a fun and relaxing weekend!
