Weekend getaway

Posted on 06:55 by Unknown
In the almost thirteen months we've been parents, we've never left Colin overnight. That is, we hadn't until this past weekend. On Friday, we loaded up our luggage, dropped our little man off with Justin's parents, and headed for Sullivan's Island. Our good friend, Jonathan, was getting married and Justin was a groomsman, so we took advantage of the opportunity to have a little weekend getaway, just the two of us.

Overall, the time away was really nice. We did miss our little guy, and he also came down with a cold while we were gone, which made us feel pretty bad about leaving him. He was in capable hands, though, and while we missed him, we never felt like we shouldn't have left him. He spent the majority of his time with Justin's brother, Tim, his wife, Shannon, and their 4 year old daughter, Emily. Colin LOVES Emily and is always laughing at her when we're all together. It also doesn't hurt that they have a dog, Myles, who loves to give kisses and is great with little ones.

We tried to make the most of our trip and sleep in, but the hotel bed was rather uncomfortable and I wasn't feeling so great myself (had the whole achy, virusy feeling on Saturday and Sunday like I was fighting something off) and couldn't sleep past 8 am. We did allow ourselves to relax on Saturday. When we woke up, we took our time getting ready and went to IHOP for breakfast. The food was pretty good, but the meals were a little pricey. I kept thinking, "I could make this at home SO much cheaper." After that, we went for a drive around Charleston and ended up at Folly Beach, where we walked along the Fisherman's Pier. It was beautiful, but the wind was freezing cold so we didn't stay there very long.

The wedding that afternoon was beautiful. It was obvious that Jonathan and Amanda are head over heels in love with each other; they're such a gorgeous couple and fit so nicely together. We saw some old friends and met new ones, and danced at the reception. It was definitely worth the trip.
