caleb and i were in for a much needed break.
we had already planned a little getaway before our apartment fiasco,
and were debating whether or not to cancel our trip.
..
however, God's planning is much better than mine. He obviously knew we would need a getaway from our new box filled apartment and we decided to leave the mess & hit the road.
boy, were we in for a treat!
rain or shine. this trip was a blessing. we drove eight hours to charleston and of course, the first thing i did was find a spot to eat. after much research, we landed on poogan's poorch. it was down pouring when we arrived; however, this did not affect people's love for saturday brunch.
as we waited in the hallway of this yellow plantation-style home restaurant, i viewed the hall-of-fame for this restaurant. giada de laurentiis' signature particulary stood out to me, "bon appetite!"
yes, she was right.
caleb and i started our sourthern trip (in my opinion) the right way.
shrimp & grits for me and chicken & waffles for him.
i was in love. with first bite.
i must have been born in the wrong state. i can't believe i lived twenty four years without trying the savory sweetness of chicken & waffles or the bold chedder of chicken & grits.
if the rest of the day was a wash out. charleston already was worth the eight hour drive.
what they call rainbow row^^^
^^ look what i spotted. boy, do i love weddings :)
^^ secret garden?!?!
^^^ naturally, i loved this barn.
^^^ mom, you must have raised me in the wrong state.
^^^ a city market. charleston, you got me there.
thankfully, the day kept getting better.
what's better than a carriage ride on cobblestone roads with hot tea from a place called bananas and caviar.
a dream.
until next time, charleston. you hold my heart.
