Day 5 started off early again because really, what is sleeping in? We actually did have to get a jumpstart on the day to make sure we had enough time to see a plantation and get to Savannah before dinner. Our first stop on the agenda was Boone Hall Plantation, which if you’ve been keeping… Continue reading Soirée Goes South: Day 5
We came across Homegrown Brewhouse while walking around Summerville, SC on the first day of our road trip. After a ten hour drive, a beer to relax sounded perfect and because Homegrown Brewhouse looked pretty cool inside. we decided to check it out. Our dad is really big on craft beers which usually had us leaning… Continue reading Drink Here: Homegrown Brewhouse
It’s really hard to believe we are done (for now) with our time in Charleston and are getting ready to head to Savannah in the morning. Charleston is truly an incredible city that had us falling in love with everything we saw, ate and experienced from the moment we stepped out into the warm southern air.… Continue reading Soirée Goes South: Day 4
Recently, I’ve been pouring over the new Lilly Pulitzer Spring Line which has led to a few (okay, maybe more than a few) trips to their store. While trying on pretty much everything in Pink Colony, I came across this Alessia Maxi Henley Dress in Bright Navy For The Halibut print. I had first seen… Continue reading What To Wear: Easter
We decided we would try and sleep in after all of our driving the last few days. And by sleep in, I mean we woke up at 7:30am totally still exhuasted from our adventures from Day 2. The only thing keeping us from sleeping in a little longer was the thought of the amazing breakfast awaiting… Continue reading Soirée Goes South: Day 3
When you come from a large Italian family like we do, you are bound to have quite a few traditional dishes for any holiday. For Easter, three things are always found on our brunch table- pizza ghen, a lamb cake, & ricotta pie. Pizza ghen can probably best be described as a sort of breakfast… Continue reading Traditional Easter Dessert: Ricotta Pie
We woke up early in Summerville so we could take the scenic route to Charleston. Lucky for us, our hotel had a free breakfast including eggs, biscuits, waffles and coffee. After grabbing a quick bite, we took Route 61 to Charleston in order to catch a glimpse of some of the historic plantations along the way.… Continue reading Soirée Goes South: Day 2
Our trip started bright and early at 5:30am with a stop at Wawa for breakfast sandwiches and coffee for me and chai tea for Kate. The 8 hour drive to our lunch stop surprisingly wasn’t too bad considering neither of us had ever driven in a car that long. We stopped at Fuller’s BBQ (right… Continue reading Soirée Goes South: Day 1
Last Friday, I attended the 3rd Annual Basket of Hope Fundraising Dinner, Auction, & Casino event. Basket of Hope is a great charity which, as the name implies, strives to give hope to children diagnosed with cancer and other serious illnesses by giving them baskets filled with all sorts of fun items. As one of the… Continue reading Casino Night: Basket of Hope Charity Event
The other week, my family and I went out for my Dad’s birthday. After a bit of a debate, we decided on a little Italian restaurant in Gwynedd Valley, PA called Bocelli which is actually located inside an old train station. Reservations at Bocelli are a must because the restaurant is so small. Their menu has your standard Italian… Continue reading Eat Here: Bocelli Restaurant
