Looking Forward to Labor Day

Getting cash for your birthday is no fun at all, in my opinion. I never know what to put it toward, and I do miss the fun of wrapping paper. But alas, this is what happens when you get older, and you don’t live close to home. Last year I put all the birthday cash toward a plane ticket to New Hampshire to visit Best Friend and her husband over my birthday, hang out in Boston and quaint towns in Maine and Mass, and spend a couple of nights at her in-laws’ beach house in Salisbury. It was wonderful! This year I’ve decided the cash will be put toward a Labor Day multi-city ticket. I couldn’t say no to free tickets to the Chik-fil-A game in Atlanta, even though it means missing my team’s opening game on pay-per-view at the Pub {tear}. I’ve never been to Atlanta before, and it will give me an opportunity to watch one of our opponents up-close before playing them two weeks later. Virginia Tech (ACC champion) and Alabama will duke it out in what’s sure to be an entertaining showdown on September 5^th. On top of a trip to Atlanta, my roommate, her guy, and I will be flying on to the beach in Charleston, SC for two days of sand and sun in a city I’ve been dying to get back to. I can’t wait! {When I listed Hilton Head, SC on my birthday wish list, I guess I wasn’t too far off!}

Here are some pictures from my last trip to Charleston when I stayed on the gorgeous Kiawah Island.
