Charleston Charm

During our short week of summer break we visited the historic city of Charleston, SC...



And ate fabulous fresh seafood...



Walked along Rainbow Row...


and saw houses with crooked porches...

We toured Fort Sumter (start of the civil war)...


Admired fancy homes...



We even found a fox outside our hotel...

And Dustin swam while Jessie slept on a beautiful beach, which we had all to ourselves...



Best of all, near the end of our trip our passenger side car window got stuck partway open (this has happened before and cost us a hefty sum to fix). We had to risk a day and night of break-ins and then, worse, make the 7 hour drive home exposed to the howling wind/sun/heat. Which we survived, only to realize when we pulled into home (not a minute sooner) that we'd had the child safety lock on and the window worked fine. And that's why we're not yet parents. ;-)

Richmond Summer

It's been a while since I've posted, but we are still alive and loving summer in Richmond. We snuck down to the James River for a few moments on Friday night with some friends and took these shots...




Dustin has two weeks of studying before he takes the boards and I've got two weeks of class/finals before my summer break! Sitting indoors bent over books isn't our favorite way to spend these gorgeous summer days, but it'll be worth it someday, right?!
