Going non-stop for five days straight starts to wear on you, so today we decided to let ourselves sleep in a bit, which in our case meant waking up about the same time just without an alarm. After taking our time to get ready and enjoy our complimentary breakfast, we decided it would be worthwhile… Continue reading Soirée Goes South: Day 6
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
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
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
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.

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
If you read last week’s post about the road trip Tori & I are taking next week, then you already know our original plan was to go to Iceland and not Charleston. In order to get to that decision, I had to plan out our whole trip and estimate exactly what it would cost each of… Continue reading The Trip Not Taken: Iceland
Since I never went on a spring break trip while in college and Tori hasn’t taken one her first 3 years of school, we knew that this year would be the last year we had to take a true spring break trip. Now when most people plan a spring break trip they think Mexico or… Continue reading The Road Taken: Planning for a Spring Break Road Trip to the South
When you think about Ireland, its hard not to have scenes from PS. I Love You or if you’re a serious movie buff, maybe The Quiet Man flashes through your head of small crowded pubs with live music, rolling green hills that stretch for miles, and dirt roads lined by ancient stone walls. This is… Continue reading Oh, The Places We’ll Go: Ireland
