Saturday

Saturday morning we slept in and met up with the 'fam' at the French Market...which happened to be right outside out hotel in Marion Square Park. It was great. We all ate some delicious crepes and amazing donuts with lemon and chocolate sauce...YUM. We did a lot of walking that day.


We walked down King Street (which is a bunch of shops) and we walked through Charleston Place (a mini-mall) and then we walked through the Market Place (a bunch locals sell a bunch of different things). Then we ate lunch on top of the Library building at a restaurant. After that loveliness, the 'fam' went back to their house...they were going to cook us dinner later. John and I walked up to the water on a pier then we walked down Tradd Street...which is really old houses, all architecturally awesome with beautiful flower boxes. We then mosied on over to Battery Park which is the end of the peninsula.

On the way back we crossed over some cobblestone streets (of which I sprained my ankle...haven't done that in a long time....but it didnt' stop me from having fun). We took a nap and then headed over to Justin and Jen's. They had all cooked up some delicious pork chops, asparagus, broccoli and potatoes....with brie and crackers as an appetizer...YUM.

Afterwards we hung out and then a knock at the door came....it was Lauren and Adam!!! Lauren is my youngest cousin on my Mom's side...she's 22 and she has been dating Adam for about 10 months. We had found out the night before that they were coming....we originally were told that they were not, so we were SO excited.

We looked at pictures of Justin and Jen's Costa Rica trip, made plans for the next day and then drove back to our hotel.
