Hope you had a great weekend. Ours was good. We are still getting used to it just being the two of us!
Friday night was SO exciting! We ordered a pizza and watched the season premiere of one of our favorite sitcoms. And then husband went to sleep around 9:30. See, I told you it was exciting! ;)
Saturday we headed up to Myrtle Beach so we could take FIL out for a birthday lunch and he and husband could play a round of golf. We tried a newer place in Murrell's Inlet called Graham's Landing. It had some pretty good reviews and supposedly had some really good fish tacos. We got there right before noon and picked a table inside but near the view of the inlet. Mistake #1. Since we were seated by the door that lead out to the deck we were inundated with flies! Very annoying! I guess we should have just moved but we didn't. My MIL ordered a bowl of She crab soup and although she said it had a great flavor it was kind of luke warm, which was surprising to me unless it was left over from the day before and the pot had not heated through yet! Then I had ordered the fish tacos. I guess that was mistake #2. It took FOREVER to get my order and husband's order, which was just a cuban sandwich, not a complicated order! My fish tacos were not very good! I have had so much better and to me, they are not that hard to make and make good! Oh well, I guess we'll know not to eat there again!
MIL and I were able to spend the afternoon together which we haven't really done in awhile! She took me to a few fun shops and then we headed back to their house to talk and have a glass of wine.
Normally husband is in a big hurry to get home but this time we actually stayed and ate dinner with them and had some birthday cake before we headed out.
Sunday we went to Mass and then came home for a quick lunch before husband had to head out to do some volunteering with the Knights of Columbus. I spent the afternoon looking through a stack of British decorating magazines that MIL gave me on Saturday.
I was up bright and early this morning and there was a great little chill in the air! I am so ready for fall! I headed downtown to take son's phone to the phone MD on King street. I love getting downtown, especially on upper King, early on a Monday morning, I never have trouble finding parking!
Then I headed over to Mt. Pleasant to check out the new Southern Season store that had recently opened. Oh my word, y'all... it was a foodie's paradise! I bought stuff I didn't even need! If you're local and you haven't been, you need to check it out!
I made a quick stop at Goodwill to check out the book section. I scored a couple for husband a couple for me! Not bad for $5!
Then of course, no trip to Mt. P would be complete without a stop at Trader Joe's. I had to stock up on pumpkin yogurt, pumpkin butter, horseradish hummus, olive oil and dried mangoes!
On the way home I made a detour through the drive-through at Starbucks, that little chill put me in the mood for a Pumpkin Spice Latte!
So much to do this week since we are leaving on Thursday to head to the cabin. This weekend is Clemson's homecoming (really early this year, no?) and we have a lot planned!
How was your weekend?
