Our Weekend Get Away

My husband and I needed some quality time together and decided to drive up to Beaufort, SC for the weekend. He retired from the Marine Corps back in 2007 and was familiar with this area, as he went to boot camp on Parris Island back in 1987.

We researched quaint places to stay and came across this wonderful bed and breakfast. Neither of us had ever experienced a bed and breakfast at this point. It was the most wonderful experience. Quaint and cozy, personal and pleasing.

Two Suns Inn, Bed and Breakfast is where we chose to stay.

This is the view from our porch at the Inn. 

We drove downtown and parked. We visited all the antique and coffee shops. We enjoyed really good, fresh seafood. 

My favorite place was this little quaint coffee shop right on the water.

We also visited the Carolina Cherry Company. It had everything you could have wanted from pies, cobblers, cider and anything canned. We came home with strawberry jam, sweet potato butter, onion relish, bread and butter pickles and caramalized peacans.

We relaxed by the water and enjoyed the swings and just had a wonderful time.

Now...Its back to reality.

***Happy 16th to my Sweet Boy***

It's official my baby is 16! I'm so honored to be his mother and so proud of the young man he has become. We celebrated with a little party this weekend in honor of his milestone!

I made this simple cake and added gumballs to bring in some color.

I stayed with a circus theme. Candy, peanuts and popcorn.
