Getting away from it all

Evan and I took an extra-long, weekend trip out to Charleston, South Carolina. He went to attend a conference and I went to recover from the wear and tear of day to day life. It was the first trip just the two of us have taken in the ten years we have been married. We went to museums, ate meals in nice restaurants, stayed in a beautiful hotel, and visited friends we miss more than we even realized. Evan went surfing and sat in meetings. I shopped and wandered the streets of Charleston and had a wonderful lunch and dinner with some great friends.

And now I can laugh once again at the craziness of the days.
