Boone Hall Plantation

I just had to add this. We went to Boone Hall Plantation and took a tour. This is still a functioning plantation and is one of the most photographed plantations in the US. As we are touring the guide tells us that the house was built in 1936. Then she adds that all the furnishings in the house belong to the current owners and are from the 1950s. Yes 1936 and 1950. I’m pretty sure the dining room set in my house is older than that. I am almost POSITIVE the guest bedroom suite is older than that. So..the bad news is, I’m now charging $18 per person to tour MY house. The good news is…the money will go towards toys for Sophie and Zoe. We asked someone to take our picture and this is how it turned out…so we had to improvise and crop ourselves in a la George Costanza. The driveway coming in is lined by oaks and is absolutely gorgeous, but probably worth a $5 look.

Charleston, SC

Well, Adam has survived 5 years of being married to me! We celebrated by taking a trip to Charleston, SC. Sophie spent her first weekend away from us and stayed with Adam’s parents in Kingsport. Zoe spent the weekend with her Aunt Wendy and the gang. Adam and I enjoyed our weekend away! I did much better than I thought I would, but I was ready to get back to Sophie!
