Adjusting to Life

We returned home safe and sound late Saturday night. What a great trip. We're still trying to get everything put away and get back into the routine. For some reason, when we got back to work, each of us had an easy first day back. That never happens, especially when I was at Sparrow! I think the fact that we had a lot of down time (at the pool.....taking naps....) meant we weren't so tired coming home, and that helped.

Here's a few more pictures of our final days on the road.....

Randy decided to try the low country boil. He LOVED it but boy was that ever a mess. We had to take him out and hose him down after that meal.

What remained of the best coconut cake I have EVER tasted.

Our last night in Charleston, we found this beautiful, huge park right on the waterfront. We walked all around it, enjoying the beautiful evening and sunset.

My dream house (Charleston, right across from the park/river).

Before we left Charleston, I took this picture from our balcony. We had a great view of the Charleston Yacht Club and the river, and directly below our room was a very nice patio and pool area.

Mom planned a surprise for Randy on the way home. We stopped in Mt. Airy, NC, which is where Andy Griffith is from. This is the place that Mayberry is based on. In his mind, Randy lives in Mayberry, so this was the absolute BEST surprise for him. We had lunch at Snappy's Lunch, which was full of Mayberry pictures and things.

Next door was Floyd's Barber Shop.

Can I just tell you that even on our wedding day Randy didn't smile THIS big??!?!

So we have tons of memories, about 1,000 pictures, a smaller bank account.....but it was worth it. We had a blast. Yes, I will be scrapbooking the trip. It will probably take a few years since I'm a few years behind, but I'll get to it someday.
