My huge vacation recap! Okay, by huge, I mean big on the words, small on the photos. I barely took any pictures. But anyways, let’s get down to business.
Babytooth and I had a good flight down to our vacation destination, Pawleys Island (we were only delayed a short time, but once we were in the air-zoom!) Once we met up with her parents, we stopped at The Fresh Market (which had the cutest mini basket carts-see the pic below!) and got fresh green beans and pecan-crusted porkchops, that were huge. We cooked them on the grill and they were divine. We also got peanut butter chocolate tarts and toffee cookies. (If you have a Fresh Market by you, I’m extremely jealous of you.)
How gorgeous are these roses at Fresh Market?
The next day, we got up nice and early and hit the golf course for a lovely walk.
After hitting the beach and pool, babytooth and I ran to the store and got supplies to make a bbq chicken dinner! I even folded the napkins extra fancy to add to our decor. That night I whipped up the strawberry peach sangria (that I forgot to put strawberries in..) It was another delicious evening!
Monday, we hit the beach and pool, then got dolled up to head to Charleston to shop a little and go to one of my most favorite restaurants, Magnolia’s. Charleston always inspires me. I love everything about it, from the candy shops with homemade fresh fudge to the secret gardens in between the old bulidings. It’s a classic town and a must see if you’re ever down south. We first went to Magnolia’s 4 years ago once for lunch, but babytooth and I couldn’t stop raving about it. So we knew it was a must this trip. It’s classic old southern food in a beautiful environment and I ate my body weight. Oh and had the most delish Bellini. (Okay, I’ll just confess now, all I did all week was eat and layout. And read and laugh. It was freaking awesome.)
Tuesday, we had to take a break from the sun. So we headed to Eggs Up Grill & Market Commons to get some bfast and shopping in. How crazy looking are those plants? From a distance you think they’re flowers, but up close they’re actually flowers! And then that night we went to a fab restaurant with two of our favorite locals. We had a great time all catching up and laughing. I had this amazing 14 (let that sink in….1-4) layer caramel cake. Nomnomnom.

Wednesday, after a nice walk it was back to the beach and pool after. We had burgers and a delish strawberry shortcake roll for dessert. We watched HoneyBooBoo Scratch and Sniff and just had a fun night.
We played a great game of “Find the worst thing in here” at Eagles. And this clearly won.
Thursday, our last day & my birthday. We had the most amazingly delicious breakfast I’ve ever had. Babytooth made cinnamon roll french toast. It was too die. I got the two funniest cards and 3 beautiful Alex and Ani bracelets.
After I stuffed my face, we piled in the car and I crossed something off my 30 before 30 and drove my fam to the beach! After a beautiful day at the beach, we hit the pool, got dressed up and headed to another one of my all time fave restaurants, Rice Paddy in Georgetown. Babytooth and I always get the same thing and it didn’t let either of us down. It was the perfect way to end the trip!
On our way home, I took this picture at a Waffle House in Virginia.
Political statement or just a funny way to display Pooh’s sad friend? You decide!
I hope you enjoyed this recap of my fabulous vacation. I have tons of fun posts lined up for next week, can’t wait to share, Xo!
