Jesse and I made a quick trip to Charleston to celebrate our Anniversary. We hung around Greenville Saturday night so we could go to Sonya's 30th birthday party and then left early Sunday morning for Charleston. We got there after lunch and headed straight to the Market. After checking out pretty much every store down there, we headed down to the Battery to watch the storm clouds rolling in. Then we went and checked in at our hotel and - WOW - we got there just in time. It started pouring the second we got to our room. I, of course, turned the television to the Weather Channel and find out that Charleston is under a tornado warning. No - for those of you that know me - I wasn't in the bathtub with the mattress over my head, but I was pretty nervous. Anyways, Jesse and I then showered and got ready for dinner. He had made reservations months ago for the "Ideas in Food" dinner at McCrady's. I wasn't sure how I would like some of it - like pickled watermelon rind or eucalyptus sorbet (Jesse's posted pics on his blog -

After the 4-1/2 hours we were at McCrady's, we were both pretty tired so we headed back to the hotel. The next morning Jesse found out one of his cook's was sick, so we had to cut the trip short and head home. It was unfortunate, but we still had a good time and I'm thankful for the time alone that we could spend together before Drew is born.
Here's a couple pics from the weekend...
The one below is of Sydney and Makayla at Sonya's birthday party. They have many matching outfits...
This is a shot of the storm clouds over Charleston. Freaky if you ask me.
This is a ridiculous picture of Jesse and I after shopping the Market in 100 degree weather. Unfortunately it's the only one I have of the two of us from the trip. Don't you love my swollen face and pregnancy nose :). And I have 2 months left?!?!?!?
