A Romantic Carriage Ride for Two...errr Three!!

Some of you know that Ash & I made a little trip down to Charleston, SC this past week/weekend to do a little wedding planning...and Kirk too, who flew down on Thursday.

Just a few notes then on to the fun things...the pics!...but don't get too excited "cause I don't got no fancy camera"...(sorry just a little hillbilly humor there)


*On Wednesday when we were driving down we got stuck on Fancy Gap mountain in Virginia (no detour out) where it took us 2 hours to go 7 short miles...ugh


*The weather in Charleston was cold and rainy up until we left to go to Savannah, GA on Friday evening...it was warmer in St. Charles, IL than in Charleston...go figure :)


We got a few items taken care of and most importantly were able to do them in person with Liz Demos, our most awesome wedding planner & her cute, talented, & VERY organized assistant, Meg.

When we finished up with "business" on Friday we headed down to Savannah for our third cupcake tasting session and to just be tourists for a day...which was the best part...relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery and weather!

And who wouldn't want to buy cupcakes from here homemade by Miss Cheryl herself...they were by far the best of the three sets we tasted...and she is just as sweet as her "treats" ! This girl has happy hour at her place where they serve up shots of her yummy icing!!!

Of course we visited here....and isn't that a "yummy" wall of Christmas stuff! A scrumptious dinner and then our time in Savannah concluded with our faithful guide "Cricket" taking us "3" on a most awesome carriage tour of the city!


























In case you're interested, "Cricket" is a blue Weimaraner who loves to run in the "forest"...
or so says her German owner! :)
