Charleston

So, Trip #2 was to Charleston, SC for a friend's wedding. We met Bob in Mississippi when both he and Scot were going through pilot training. Imagine a 22 year old fresh from Texas A&M, sporting a high and tight haircut, driving a brand new cherry red Corvette, and bringing little personality to the table. Despite all of that, he was an endearing character and we took him under our married couple wing for that year. He's gone on to have a very successful active duty Air Force pilot career and was lucky to find himself a Jillian Michaels look-a-like for a bride. We couldn't miss the wedding.

Bob and his bride are currently living in Charleston where he is stationed with a C-17 unit, though they are moving to Virginia very soon. We flew down there from Friday to Monday. Since Scot was in the wedding, he had some pre-wedding obligations throughout the weekend, but we were still able to spend some time exploring the area on our own. Unfortunately, the weather was unseasonably cold that weekend, so we didn't get to enjoy our hotel on the beach as much as we would have liked! We still managed to get out for some walks on the beach (albeit in sweatshirts and pants) and got to see a good part of the city. In Charleston proper, we took a horse and carriage tour, which was really beautiful and fascinating. And had several meals just the two of us...which really is all we need to be happy these days!

The venue - I'm not sure I've ever seen a more breathtaking wedding site! To top it off, Lindsey arrived with her dad by horse and carriage.


Fun in the photo booth :-)


Congrats to Bob and Lindsey!
