We decided to take a week long road trip to accomplish a few things – visit Charleston and a few restaurants we’d been wanting to try, take the boys to see snow/ski and chill in Brevard a bit. More of a mixed trip than previous adventures.

Highs

• The most amazing family Valentine’s dinner at FIG in Charleston. Started the night with a drink at Charleston Place where William and celebrated Valentine’s together 12 years prior. The boys were amazing adventurers with their dinner, befriended (nearly) the entire staff and all around perfect experience.
• Capped off with “date night” in the lobby of our awesome hotel with William. In addition to FIG, we loved lunch at the ordinary and good dinner at butcher and bee the night before. Boys maybe most enjoyed the make your own Belgian waffle on our way out.
• Fun cabin and nice seeing snow in Beech mountain. Boys did well on bunny slopes
• Always love seeing Shepherd’s Ridge in Brevard – little slice of heaven

Not so High

• The weather was terrible! Rained all week and icy cold in NC
• Skiing on ice isn’t much fun and scary for beginners
• S and I came down with a bug in NC so laid low there (brightside – lots of reading)

Still glad we made the trip – good family times
