Historic Charleston and Chase

Chase still had to muster this morning so we agreed to meet up later. The Navy doesn't make things easy on families, you never know when to expect them to be done. Could be a half hour could be all day. 

Kurt and I went to Junction Kitchen and Provisions for breakfast this morning after a pretty good nights sleep. I had a sausage egg croissant with hashbrowns, it was okay. Nothing too exciting. After breakfast we ran to the store for some waters, soda, and hairspray (I forgot mine...). 

Brought the groceries back to the house and hung out for a bit. Hadn't heard from Chase so we decided to head downtown. Of course just as we were parking Chase called. He had just gotten back to his apartment. He had to get a haircut and work on his uniform for graduation so we decided to hang out downtown for a bit and he we would meet with him for a late lunch.

We just wandered our way around. I love this city! The architecture is so cool. I could wander for hours but we had to meet with Chase. So just walked a bit and went to CIty Market. Got some chocolate, Byrd's cookies, and a new sweatshirt (really don't need a sweatshirt but I really liked it...).






After our shopping we called Chase and he was about ready to go, just wanted to take a shower so decided to meet up with him back at our airbnb. Decided sit outside while we waited for Chase so Kurt could have a cigar and it was beautiful out. 
Finally got to see Chase! He got to the house and we sat outside and chatted a bit as we decided where to go to eat. He chose the Tattooed Moose. We had gone here the last time we were here. Chase had the Duck Club, I had to Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich (fried chicken with pimento cheese), and Kurt the Smoked Philly (without the onions and peppers of course).  All was delicious!
After lupper we walked around Park Circle for a bit - found a cute little book store and made Kurt buy a book and a record store but Kurt thought it would be too hard to get home so no purchases. Made our way back to the house and played some pool in the game room. Shockingly - I won! Then a couple games of Uno Flip - I didn't win... 


Hung out for just a bit and Chase headed back to his apartment and Kurt and I watched a movie (well Kurt watched and I wrote my blog...).

Magnolia Plantation

  Chase had mentioned he hadn't been to a plantation yet and would like to go so we headed to Magnolia Plantation today.  Picked him up bright and early - around 8:00 am. He was ready to go even though he had only gotten up about 15 minutes before we got there. He said picked up that talent in boot camp. Started with breakfast at First Watch, Chase had heard from a couple people that it was really good. I had a BEC sandwich - bacon, egg, and cheddar with arulgula and garlic aioli. Kurt had biscuits and gravy with million dollar bacon. Chase had a carrot cake and pecan pancake (it was HUGE), and million dollar bacon. All was delicious - good breakfast! Chase got free coffee for his military service. After breakfast we made our way to Magnolia. We were surprised by the line on a Monday! We got there a little after 10:00 and the next house tour open wasn't until 2:00. At first we were disappointed but there was plenty to do. First we walked around in the Wildlife Center. A small ...

I hate American Airlines

  Chase graduates A school Friday, July 25 so of course I am headed back to Charleston. Short solo trip as he gets to come home after graduation. He said he would prefer us to take time off when he is home so that is what Kurt is doing.  Flew out to Sioux Falls on Wednesday night, left early to give myself a little buffer in case there were any flight issues. Thankfully I did!!! Knew it was a tight layover in Chicago but unfortunately that was the only option that worked so went for it. Flight out of Sioux Falls was delayed... I understand to a point, but the frustrating part is they will never come out and say delayed and give you an estimate of how long. Five minutes before our scheduled departure they were showing on time and our plane wasn't even at the gate... Anyways, get to Chicago and missed my connection. They had booked me for a flight the next morning through Charlotte. They made me gate check my bag in Sioux Falls so long night in the Chicago airport with no bag. O...

Tourist Day

  So this trip was obviously all about Chase's graduation, especially as basically lost a day with my Chicago fiasco. But I did have all day today as Chase flew out last night. He did have a bit of a delay in Atlanta but did make it to Minneapolis a little after 2:00 in the morning... Hopefully we are done with delays! Anyways I had the day to myself to play tourist in Charleston. It is HOT, like it hurts your skin HOT. But I decided to head down to historic Charleston anyways. I thought about doing a Grayline tour of the city, as it's on an air-conditioned bus, but ended up just riding the free transit bus around the city. I got off on King Street and did some walking along the shops. Ended up wandering in a Target (yes, there is a Target on King Street) just because it was air conditioned. There was a shop I heard had gold Palmetto bug jewelry, I was intrigued. Palmetto bugs are basically a cockroach and a big problem in the area... Anyways found the store and had to get myse...
