Last weekend we enjoyed a lovely weekend in historic Charleston, South Carolina. It was the first time we've been away anywhere together, just the two of us, since we moved here to Charlotte. Although we wouldn't change a thing about our Latin driving adventure, we are certainly used to "working travel" where we have to plan ahead, map it out, set up camp, entertain the dog, cook our own dinner, etc. We rarely have pure vacation relaxation. We seriously almost didn't know what to do with ourselves! Ben found us a great deal on a ritzy hotel downtown so we lived it up. Well - we're pretty boring, so living it up may be an overstatement. We actually even stayed in on Saturday night, enjoying having nothing to do but lay in a big bed and watch movies, something we haven't done since Guatemala. It felt good. Sooooo good!
It was a really nice chance for me to get to take some fun photos, something else I haven't done much of since our travels ended. Wanna see?
Gypsies at heart, we’ve packed up our Colfax Avenue apartment, left our jobs & said our goodbyes with hopes of making a difference in the lives of many as well as our own. Share in our adventure as we uproot ourselves from the mile high city & road trip through Mexico, on our way to a new home & new way of life in Guatemala. UPDATE: After 2 amazing years of living and loving in Latin America this family of three is learning the art of settling down in Charlotte, NC where we purchased our first fixer home. Stay turned to follow our adventures of a different sort - exploring another totally new culture (the South!) & DIYing the heck out of our home!
