This has been a most unusual week for Spring Break. Of course, there were the normal activities of going to the bin store and Carowinds, but Preston also got braces and Savannah worked a LOT! Preston also did a lot of dog walking (and earned $550!) and I've spent a lot of time gathering quotes for gutters, mulch, mowing, floors, pest control and more. So it hasn't exactly been super fun, but we were thankful to end the week in Charleston for the Cooper River Bridge Race.
According to Savannah, it didn't matter how long the wait was, we were waiting for her favorite chicken and waffles!
Thankfully, by Friday Preston's braces were feeling a bit better so he was able to slowly enjoy chicken and waffles as well. :)
We waited WAY too long to book a hotel room (ok, so I forgot with everything else going on) and we ended up staying about 2 miles away from downtown so it made things tricky with getting Dave to the race start and also back to watch him. BUT, Savannah's excellent navigation skills made it happen. We were excited to see Dave run by in record time and then to enjoy the race freebies afterwards.
Some of us enjoyed the free stuff a little too much . . .
According to Preston, this year's giveaways were much better . . prime and boxes of Dave's killer bread bars!
My favorite tradition is the picture booth! We were sad that they no longer had the big red CPI chair, but the picture booth is always a hit!
We made it back to Charlotte without driving through any major accidents, just some minor hiccups with delays. Charleston was a fun way to wrap up Spring break and a nice change of scenery. So here's to finishing the last quarter of school strong. There sure won't be any downtime with senior events, club and school soccer, and all the craziness of two graduations and parties galore.
