a weekend in Charleston

This past weekend I headed to Charleston to help my oldest brother move out of his apartment. Activities consisted of sitting on the ‘back porch’ of our hotel room while reading, picking up curbside from The Ordinary & the Tattooed Moose [oh me oh my I highly recommend their dinner menu], and packing up and cleaning his apartment … emphasis on the cleaning. It was the best way to safely get out of the house & get some fresh air from the ocean that was 20 minutes away. I tried to snap as many photos as possible because it’s rare these days for me and my older brothers to be in one place at the same time. I figured I would share some of them here!

I just finished my first book on my summer reading list, Where The Crawdads Sing, yesterday which is a story set in the Outerbanks of North Carolina & I’ve also been watching the cheesiest of cheesy shows on Netflix called Outerbanks. In the middle of two stories set in the Outerbanks I was looking forward to being in Charleston [Outerbanks was filmed there] to get some visuals with my stories. This weekend was full of sweet, little blessings.

the trip begins with Willow showing us her sad, puppy eyes about not being able to join the gang on the road trip & it was hilarious and sad at the same time

we sat here reading for a while

this was my favorite spot the whole weekend

waiting on our yummy sea food!

i’m a big fan of jeni’s splendid ice creams. ask any of the girls at school - i talk about it all the time. you have got to splurge and get you some!

all dressed up for picking up curbside to take back to the hotel :)

a perk of this odd time we’re in - a whole lot of al fresco dining [insert heart eyes here]

found all kinds of finds while packing like these yellow sunnies ha!

his fridge decor was cutie

in disbelief that we packed up the whole apartment!!!

& now celebrating while repping our favorite sports team EVER! Chop On!

saying goodbye to my little back porch for the weekend where I read my book and enjoyed the beachy, fresh air!!!! & yes of course I was wearing my Tretorns I know you were all desperate to know HAHA!
