Visit to Charleston

This weekend I know there are some friends and fellow BC alum coming to Charleston! I'm excited because THEY are so excited. So I've been thinking of things to do, things to see, and places to eat. Sometimes if you are visiting you fall into the traps...like Hyman's Seafood. It is a really popular place for tourists, but there is MUCH better seafood in town! So girls, if you are looking for things to fill your day, this is my list of things and places I recommend.

On the weekend:
-Go to Folly Beach. Make sure you lay behind the Holiday Inn. Why? That's where the beach bar is and that is where the public restrooms and foot showers are. ( a plus for any female!!)
-While you're at Folly-stop over at Taco Boy . The guacamole is awesome. Oh and so are the screwdrivers and the sangria margarita!
-Isle of Palms and Sullivan's are great beaches too!
-If you want to explore the city or get to know the history, the harbor tour is the best. It talks about the history of Charleston and you get the nice breeze off of the water!
-At night: Anything near The Market will be fun:
      Mad River=late night, tons of dancing, hot, sweaty
      Pearlz=great starting out point, and FABULOUS for oyster shots
      Rooftop at Vendue=also a great bar on the roof of a building. The view is awesome.
      Henry's=always a must stop of mine!
      The Saloon=interesting...must be heavily intoxicated.
      Others: Squeeze, Brick, Light
-Crazy dance party=Trio near King Street.

Places to Eat:
Seafood=Coast, Fleet Landing, Hanks (upscale)
Southern=Virginia's on King, Jestine's Kitchen, Hominy Grill, Magnolia's, Slightly North of Broad (SNOB)
Breakfast=Joseph's on Meeting, Poogan's Porch, Hominy Grill
Others that I loveeeeee=Kickin Chicken (great for a quick lunch); Sette-awesome Italian; Basil-Asain
Most amazing dessert place everrrrr=Kaminsky's

Other things:
Great happy hour during the week=O'Malley's, Social
Good Pizza=Dalesandro's
Dessert=Freshberry or Cupcake
Shopping=King Street or Mt. Pleasant Town Centre

Have fun girls. Hopefully I'll get to see you when I come back in town on Sunday!!! Be on the lookout for the theater from "The Notebook"--it is on upper King!!

Cinnebarre

I love my city. I've been here less than 2 years and I feel like there is still so much I need to see & do.  Last night my roommate and I wen to the Cinnebarre to watch Sex and the City 2. It was my first time at this theater. Cinnebarre is great because it is a movie theater and restaurant combined! Where else can you go and watch a movie for a $5 ticket and get restaurant food like pizzas, burgers, and shakes??! It is so much better than a $9.50 movie ticket and EXPENSIVE buttered popcorn at a regular theater. Oh and the seats are so much better too!

You should check it out if you come visit Charleston!

Dr. Ferguson!

3 years ago Matt graduated from Bridgewater College!

This week he is graduating from the Medical University of South Carolina with his Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. I honestly never thought we'd get here..at times it seemed like the longest journey ever!

Matt and I have this running joke that we like to out do each other academically.  I graduated 2nd in my high school class, then Matt graduated cum laude at Bridgewater, then I graduated summa cum laude from Bridgewater, so it was time for Matt to out do me. Well he did it, and now I will never be able to top him! He is going to be recognized as the top honor graduate of his PT class!! He is such a smarty pants! Who pulls a 3.97 in a doctorate program!?! Matthew, I'm proud of you and I can officially say...you win!!

i love you!

P.S. The stationery is still on back order!! ;)
