Where Does Time Go?

Happy Monday friends.  I just realized that I didn't post at all last week...unintentionally.  Where does time go?  The good news about me not posting is that I have been a busy little bee at work.  My current position is transitioning- I am shedding a few of my current responsibilities and adding more valuable projects under the direction of Finance and the CFO!  I couldn't be more excited to embark on this new journey that will surely look great on my resume.

I have also been spending some quality time with the hubby.  Here are just a few of the mini dates we have been on in the past two weeks:

Riverdogs Game
My company sponsors a sky box at the Riverdogs Stadium.  Each division has the opportunity to take advantage of these amazing seats, the food, and game once a year.  Two Saturdays ago, we had our chance and the experience was nothing less than fantastic.  The hot dogs and hamburgers were on point, the breeze was perfect, and it was all around a great night for baseball!

Car Shopping
It's official...I have car fever and I am in love with the New Ford Explorers.  I test drove one a few weeks ago, and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.  Bradley and I both agree that this will be a great car for when we start having kids.  I'm sure in a few weeks, there will be a post on my new car...hopefully!

Movies
We finally took the time to go see the box office hit, Ted.  This movie was hilarious- crass, but hilarious! Mark Wahlberg was the perfect actor to play alongside Seth MacFarlane as a teddy bear.  Definitely an adult must see!

What have you guys been up to?  I'm headed over to check out your new posts as well!

Charleston Summer Bucket List

Although the heat and humidity have already set in, today is the first official day of summer.  This will be my third summer in Charleston, and honestly I have yet to take advantage of everything this wonderful city has to offer.  I have decided to create a summer bucket list to help me accomplish this mission!


Dine at five different restaurants down town that I have yet to experience.  Charleston is know for it's exceptional seafood and southern cuisine.  There is no reason I should escape this experience!

Spend at least one day at each beach in Charleston.  Did you know that there are at least four different beaches to go to in Charleston- Sullivan's, Isle of Palms, Folly, Kiawah?  The two I most frequently visit are Sullivan's and Isle of Palms, but it would be nice to venture to the others as well.  It's amazing the different atmosphere you experience at each one.



Spend a Saturday in Marion Square at the Farmer's Market.  Every Saturday during the summer Marion Square is packed with vendors from all over selling fruits, vegetables, hand made items, etc.  This would be an excellent way to purchase fresh produce for the week ahead.

Tour a brewery/distillery.  There are several local breweries in the area that produce magnificent beer.  Most all of them offer tours of their locations with free tastings.  Firefly Sweat Tea Vodka is also made in Charleston, and their tour is on the top of my list!





Tour one of the many plantations.  As one of the oldest cities, Charleston has gorgeous plantation homes that are available for tours.  They each hold their own place in history, and share a piece of the beauty of the "old" city.

What is on your summer bucket list?
