weekend in review: point mallard.

happy memorial day!
hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend full of family, sunshine & bbq! we had to cut our holiday weekend a little short yesterday, as the time has FINALLY come for us to leave on our big summer vending adventure trip today, but we had such a fun time. we went camping at point mallard with the nathan's family & the girls. we woke up super early friday morning (5 am!) to see the big hot air balloon launch. (we let the girls go in their pjs!) it was so awesome! we checked out an arts & crafts fair & an antique car show (this is all pre-10 AM lol) & we spent the rest of the day at the waterpark. waterslides, wave pools, water filled playground...it was a kiddo dream in there!
we got some sun, ate some yummy food. it was a delightful time!
cheers,
savannah marie

happy wednesday!
i don't know about you guys, but i wish it were time for vacation...any of these places would do just fine.
cheers,

the hippies take chicago.

yep, yep.
the boy & i are going to the big city tomorrow. i always get excited about our adventures, but for some reason, i'm particularly excited about this one. further is playing this weekend & we are going up to vend the shows. (further is bob weir & phil lesh from the grateful dead's band) i love, love, love the grateful dead (let's be honest. who freakin' doesn't?) & i'm definitely excited to catch the shows.
in addition, we decided to go up a day early to have a little date night in the city. between him traveling with his band so much & my girl's trip to new orleans last weekend, work, and the kiddos and everything else we have going on, we have both been so busy lately & haven't seen a whole bunch of each other...which is weird since we live in the same house. anywho, so we are going up early so we have plenty of time to explore on the way up (we love road trip exploring.) & just enjoy each other's company in different scenery. we have the "honeymoon suite" reserved at one of the casinos tomorrow night. (ok, maybe i fibbed to the hotel lady & told her we were on our honeymoon to score the upgraded room. so sue me.) one of our favorite things to do is drink beer & play penny slot machines right beside each other. i love to gamble, but i also hate wasting money, so a few months back, he convinced me to give the penny slots a try & now i love it. we drink beer & laugh & we usually even win $50 or so. it's fun.
anyhow, so i'll be home on monday to report on the weekend. in other news, i've also got about a million pairs of killer vintage boots that are hitting the the store next week so keep your eyes out for those.
one more thing...my sweet baby presley is feeling a little sick today. she had to miss school today for the first time & was kinda bummed about that. :( she's spending the weekend with her daddy & i'm sure she's gonna be fine, but you guys keep her in your thoughts if you would. it's always so pitiful when one of the babies get sick!
cheers,

charleston charm.

hey, hey, pretty ladies!
well, it's no secret that the boy & i love to travel. we hit the road for a variety of reasons...either on tour with his band or to any of the various musical events i vend throughout the year...bonnaroo, widespread panic shows, etc. we love road trips. we love to sing silly love songs, play car games (iphone madlibs is our new fave!) visit unique diners, landmarks, etc. we're also pretty notorious for ending up in casinos...lol. anyway, we just got back from one of our new fave spots (& shhh...a city where we may or may not be kinda thinking about starting to plan a wedding!). we spent friday night in pendleton, south carolina. beitthemeans had a show there, so we had to stop to let my manfriend rock & roll. we spent the night, got up early & headed to charleston, south carolina for the widespread panic show. i vended all day & late into the evening, we stayed in a delightful little motel, slept in late the next morning, then headed downtown to spend all day sunday shopping, eating, & just enjoying each other's company. we had a lovely brunch at a place called poogan's porch. mimosas & baby spinach salad with caramelized onions, pecans, & goat cheese. delish. we spent the rest of the day shopping in the open market & finally headed to visit my laney & granddaddy about 6. (my grandparents, they live on seabrook island. it's a gorgeous, gorgeous place with an extremely romantic secluded beach. it's about 30 minutes from charleston.) we spent the night with my grandparents. we just adore them. my laney is an amazing cook & she always just spoils us rotten. we took a late night stroll on the beach, which may have been one of the most romantic spots we've ever been. i was pleased at how many times "possible wedding spot" came out of the boy's mouth during our stroll. we spent the night, slept in late, had brunch with my grandparents, and then hit the road headed for our next destination...nashville, tennessee for three nights. we didn't leave until late & definitely had quite the drive to tackle. we ended up getting distracted somewhere around gatlinburg & veered off track to visit an indian casino. lots of fun. i lost $20 in a slot machine & we left after about two hours because they didn't serve alcohol, and well, frankly, we like alcohol. we spent the night at a sweet little hotel in pigeon forge & woke up early the next morning to head onto to nashville. we ended up only spending 2 of the 3 nights in nashville because we took too long to get there, but they were two fun nights of vending at widespread panic. charlie daniels came out and played with panic. pretty cool. anyway, so we get home sometime thursday, got the kiddos back & spent the next few days just happy to be home with them....until we all got sick early this week, but that's a whole different story.
that was long. thanks for reading it. hope you like our pictures.
cheers,
