Staycation


 Husband and son are on vacation from work this week, and since our plans to go out west were changed due to the wild fires, we decided to just do a staycation and stick close to home.
Our first adventure on Saturday was driving out to the country where we used to live to go eat BBQ. This is one of the best BBQ places around and worth the hour drive to get there! We then drove by our old house to look at the changes that had been made and we ran into our teen son's godfather. This was kind of strange because there was a falling out between he and husband and the godfather hadn't seen our son since he was a little over 2 years old! We all actually talked and met the godfather's foster child. It was kind of weird, but nice too.


 Sunday we attended Mass and then husband surprised me with reservations for brunch downtown at the Palmetto Cafe at the Charleston Place Hotel. It was scrumptious as always!
It was already sweltering by the time we were finished so we just made a quick stop in the Louis Vuitton store so I could point out a few handbags that I wouldn't mind owning and then we made a stop at the Apple store for a cover for daughter's newish macbook.
Sunday evening a little thunderstorm popped up, so we were in for the night!
This morning we headed out for breakfast and then daughter and I made a quick trip to TJ Maxx and  couldn't resist stopping in our newly remodeled Target. We had to check out the new Starbucks that is inside Target and took advantage of the BOGO Frappucino offer they had going on!
I'm thinking getting pizza delivered is on order for tonight! 
Husband is taking daughter and some of her friends to the waterpark tomorrow and while they are gone I will be packing up so we can spend the 4th at the lake house.
Stay cool!
