Charleston {Part Four}

 Hey friends! Today I am sharing the fourth and final part of our trip to Charleston, SC, a couple weeks ago. If you missed the first three parts, you can find those here.

Friday morning started by me sending this picture to my sister and grandmother, assuring them I was still in the bed and ok....Life 360 showed me being in a random place since sometime during the night. So weird!


Then, we were up and ready and headed to Shem Creek. It was a beautiful day!

We sat here at a restaurant called Sunsets for lunch and watched the boats and all other water activity. We shared oysters, I had a lobster roll, and Caleb had shrimp. When we were sitting there eating, I noticed I was feeling a little dizzy, but I wrote it off as not wearing my sunglasses while outside.

Once we were done eating, we drove to the other side of the creek to walk along the boardwalk. When we got there, I was feeling so dizzy and didn't think I could walk. So of course, I did what you should NOT do, and I went to "Dr. Google." I diagnosed myself with either anaphylactic shock or toxic fish poisoning. I mean, really Maddie?😂 So, Caleb asked if I needed him to take me to the ER. I didn't want to go to the ER and it be nothing, so we just went back to the hotel. I did end up getting sick, and I have since determined that it was probably a migraine- NOT a new shellfish allergy or fish poisoning.

I mean, what an exciting morning! Here I am after all of that and finally feeling better. We decided to head to.....

My favorite place! This was a pretty good Trader Joe's. I have a haul from that day here.


And then, we made it back out to Shem Creek. Some of Outer Banks is filmed here! The boardwalk wasn't very long, so that was nice since it was so hot. There were people out there just walking like us, some had their dogs, and I think some people were fishing. It was a nice (and quiet!) little area.

After Shem Creek, we weren't quite ready for dinner, but we really didn't have anything else that we wanted to go do or see. So, we headed back to the room to decide what we wanted to do for dinner. Well, we decided on none other than....

Chili's. Yep. After being sick, the one thing I wanted was chips and salsa. So weird, I know.

Then, we decided we needed ice cream one last time. I would have loved it if were close to the place we went in Pawley's Island, but unfortunately that was an hour away. But, we ended up stumbling upon a cute little area! There were so many trees that I couldn't really get a great picture, but it looked like a cute little Hallmark town. The street was East Montague Avenue, and the ice cream shop was Park Circle Creamery. The ice cream was made in house, and the ladies working in there were so sweet!

The next morning, we were up and out bright and early. We had a great time, and I would definitely go back! I think late fall or around Christmas would be a lot of fun!

Ok, that wraps up my Charleston recap! Thanks for reading!

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...

 Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week! I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from my week. Well guess what is back tonight?? NEW Hallmark Christmas movies!! Ummm YAY!! I'm most excited about Confessions of a Christmas Letter (Angela from The Office is starring in that one!) and Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story! For some foodie faves... This right here. It made my week. I'm obsessed with the tuna from Beagle Bagel. It's amazing. I can never say it enough! I made egg drop soup for the lunch the other day, and it was really good! It's always been my favorite soup from Chinese buffets. I didn't feel great and wanted a soup...luckily I had all the ingredients. I used this recipe here. The weather this week was absolute perfection.  I mean, it was really, really cool. And it was fabulous. So, that means.... I broke out a sweater and my Sorel booties that I love so much! I always forget how good the Bible app is. I opened it up...

 Happy Friday, friends!! How was your week? One of my summer classes started this week, so I have been getting back into a bit of a routine which is nice! As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from the week.  How cute is our new wreath sash?? My mom got it for us, and I am obsessed! Lots of food faves this week.... Another salsa I am now obsessed with! I found this at Aldi, and y'all it is SO good! I used it in a recipe, but I am definitely going to get another jar to eat for a snack or with lunch or dinner! Now for a Tik Tok "recipe". I used quotations, because it's really just a chop/open a can and throw together situation. Corn, black beans, pinto beans, onion, tomato, cilantro. I ate it with tortilla chips for lunch this week. It was so good! Next time, I would add more tomato and use less onion (maybe even no onion at all), and I should have chopped up the cilantro a little better! I also squeezed in some lime juice and added salt a...
