Nevertheless, Charlie, Jason and I had a wonderful long weekend with my dear college friend, Rebekah. We beat the heat by splashing in the harbor, cruising the rivers and basking in the pool -- not to mention watching hours of the Olympic Trials and eating way too much food (but what do you expect when our brand new bread maker arrived!?!)
Rebekah and I even spent some time roaming the residential streets of downtown Charleston, stopping to read every single historical marker we passed and leisurely browsed the outlet mall with no toddler in tow!
Overall, it was a fabulously relaxing visit -- and the timing couldn't have been better -- I almost forgot I was unemployed!
Despite failing to get any pictures of our relaxation, I did manage to catch a few shots of Charlie enjoying some new summer activities (this was the first year he stayed awake late enough to see fireworks!)
