Fabulous Friday!

It's a Fabulous Friday!  What is everyone going to be doing this weekend?

Saturday morning I get to pick D. up from being in Boston for the last two days...and he had snow last night!  Going to watch Georgia hopefully beat the crap out of the Florida Gators at the Biggest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville.  Unfortunately, we will not be attending :-(


We have a Halloween party to attend and I can't reveal our costumes but I assure you that you will get a little bit of a chuckle!  The only hint I can give is that we are both cartoon characters but have nothing related to each other.  Hopefully on Sunday my fantasy team will actually get a win.  I am going to try to take down the leader (Love you Tiff!)  What is everyone dressing up as?

Jets & Guns!

We spent last weekend flying home to New Jersey and getting the chance to go to Monday Night Football and watch my NY Jets (FAB!) win against the Miami Dolphins (not FAB).  We got up there Saturday night late so the festivities didn't really start till Sunday.  Sunday was spent shooting shotguns and watching footballs and going to the local bar called Calloways...great food too!  D. had never shot skeet so he had a blast getting to smash the clay discs.  He wasn't a bad shot either!  I actually hit 2, but don't ask how many I didn't hit.

Monday we spent the day showing D. the "shore" I grew up at and getting our tailgate all ready.  The food..OMG did we have a ton of food.  

Menu: 

Littleneck Clams, Clam Chowder from the 2011 Chowderfest Winner "California Grill", Steak, London Broil, Polish and Italian Sausage, Fresh Mozzarella and Pepperoni, Chicken & Crab Legs....Not to mention beer, wine and champagne.  

A NY Jets staffer took a picture of us and said we had the best food he had seen at a tailgate.  We know how to do it right!  Tuesday came and we were exhausted and it was time for us to leave the Garden State and head back to the Palmetto State.  I am so glad that we did this for the 2nd year in a row and can't wait till next year!  J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!

Wouldn't be a game without cigars from Nick's Cigar World

Love my Sanchez!

I just got back from flying up to NJ to see the Jet's kick Miami's butt!  But here is a photo a staff photographer of the Jets took of us.  More pics and info I our really fun weekend and D.'s first trip to the Garden State!!

XOXO,

What I'm Loving Wednesday...Wedding!

I am loving that Cinderella and Prince Charming are getting married this weekend and I get to be a fairy bridesmaid!

No, in all seriousness it is my FAB! friends Tosca and Brad, but they are getting married at a castle...the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC!  It's going to be magical but better then that Disney kind of way!

These two mean the world to me and I am so happy for them!  I have a special friendship with each of them and am honored they wanted me by their sides on their big day!

Some NYE fun!

Hitting up the links !

Thank God IRENE is going to leave us alone! Can't wait for the fun!  Love you both! 

XOXO

Summer Adventures - Firefly Distillery

Back in May I had made a list (view list here) of tourist things I wanted to do this summer.  Due to a crazy schedule this summer trying to get them done started to become a cloud over my head. But now I get to check one off my list.  Last weekend I had some friends from NJ come into town and a I tried to plan a lovely weekend for them in Charleston since they had never been there before.  We stayed at my favorite place Meeting Street Inn which has a lovely happy hour every day for free and a wonderful free breakfast.  Ask for Darren!

There is a step stool cause the bed is so high!

After arriving we had a great lunch at Amen Street.  I had never been here before and it was FAB!  I had the baked brie and she crab soup.  But the best was my Rum Peach Bellini that was AMAZING!

The Rum Floater totally makes it!

Great on a hot SC day!

Girls enjoying

We finished up the day shopping, a wine tasting at Charleston Tobacco & Wine and then dinner at the wonderful 39 Rue de Jean.  I had the Mussels in a vegetable cream sauce!  FAB!

The next day my girlfriends from Myrtle Beach met us at the Fresh Market for breakfast crepes! I had the Ham, Salami, Tomato and Cheese crepe and it was beyond great. We completed it with us sharing a Chocolate, Banana & Nutella crepe!

After crepes we were off to the Firefly Distillery!  I love Firefly Sweet Tea vodka and I was so excited to do a little tasting.  Ironically, my College was having an alumni event there and Marcie and I got to see one of our sorority sisters! 

<3 EK!

The Distillery is out in the middle of nowhere but a beautiful drive through the mossy oaks!  There is also a vineyard but word to the wise...do not try the wines, stick to the hard stuff!  Its a great place to bring a picnic lunch and just enjoy the nature and all the music and fun happening at the distillery.  I hope you get a feel for it through these pics.  I am going to be out that way again in September and I can't wait to bring D. and just spend the afternoon out there.

Wedding Weekend Part II

I told you all that I would give an up date on my bestie's wedding this weekend ..It was so great.  Her DJ was terrific, the food was great (grouper, potatoes Au gratin, green beans and roast beef!) Here are a couple of quick photos from the night!

The Wedding Reception was held at Pine Lakes Country Club

D. and I all dressed up!

This was on all the tables...so cute!

This captures their relationship perfectly!

Sara and her beautiful bridesmaids..how FAB!

Adventures in Kayaking

Last weekend D. and I went to Hilton Head/Bluffton to visit his family.  His mom is an AVID kayaker and wanted to bring us out for a morning row? (Is that the term?)  We ended up going up the May River for 3 MILES all around Myrtle Island, which I thought was the perfect place considering we live in Myrtle Beach.  I have to say I held my own, thanks to my friend Molly's boot camp.  It was very peaceful on the water. We didn't see any dolphins, but some birds and really nice homes.  Here are couple of photos.  I really enjoyed it and just wish I didn't live in a condo so I could invest in my own kayak.  Some day....

That's my boat!

All Ready!

Shagging on the Boulevard

So lately D. and I have been talking about picking up a new hobby.  This weekend I will be going kayaking for the first time so I will let you all know how that goes.  But there has been one thing in particular both of us said "Hey that might be fun".  Ever since I was a little girl in NJ, I  have been obsessed with the Shag. It started when my sister and I saw the movie and became completely hooked.  I had no idea then, that one day I would be living in Myrtle Beach (home of the Shag).

So when I returned from Vegas, D. had my birthday present ready and waiting.  First was a new pair of Golf Shoes (and yes I may have picked them out), some beautiful flowers and then there was a card I had to open next.  Inside he explained that we would be taking 4 private lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio to ....LEARN TO SHAG!  I was so happy!  After the 4th lesson there is a little showcase at the studio to practice and show off your new moves.  So now our date nights have turned into Dinner and Dancing Dates!  

 

Of course my first thought was I need some new dancing shoes, however Shagging shoes are expensive and NOT FAB!.   So I think I might have to get a new pair of Jack Rodgers to help me get my feet in the grove!  

No THANKS!

MUCH BETTER

 I think Silver will look FAB! under the disco ball!   I better get to downloading some new tunes for us to practice too...can we say Chairman of the Board's "Carolina Girls...best in the world"

Wish us luck!

XOXO
