Charleston SC Trip & Jesse's 30th Birthday

Well our latest adventure is a weekend trip to historic Charleston, SC. We left Saturday morning and drove home Monday afternoon. We went on a horse drawn carriage ride through part of the city and got a history lesson along the way. It was insightful and fun. Then we looked around in The Market (which is a outside shopping place with homemade stuff and other trinkets). We also walked down the Waterfront which is beautiful! We ate at a restaurant that is famous there called Hymans. It's a seafood place, but to be honest I've had a lot better. Then relaxed in the hot tub at the Marriott hotel (nice). Sunday we went to Folly Beach and chilled for a few hours. It was windy though so we didn't stay as long as we planned. The water was nice and warm which I loved and had fun playing in. We did a little shopping in the quaint beach shops and ate some great mexican food. Later that night we did some window shopping and ate at a famous restaurant called Jestines. It's southern food and was on the travel channel with Anthony Bourdain. We were a little nervous, but it was excellent food. I had shrimp and grits and loved it suprisingly. MMM. Jesse had meatloaf. We had some amazing gelato after dinner. The owner of the gelato shop is from Italy. Monday we went on a Harbor Tour and saw some cool stuff. Sumter's Fort is really cool to see. It's the place that the civil war began. The U.S.S Yorktown aircraft carrier is also cool. We were going to tour that, but ran out of time. We also went to the Old Exchange and Customs building and Provost Dungeon. This is one of the last buildings built by the British Colonial Government in America. Very old and cool. And the dungeon was used originally as a prison and was common to have pirates as there prisoners. Creepy. Then we walked down a famous road called rainbow row named for the pastel colors of the homes. Then we headed home and hit a lot of traffic :( It was a good trip and interesting.
As for other stuff going on in our life. I have been at my new job for 2 days and love it so far. Everyone is very nice and friendly. It's a laid back office for the most part. Dr. Crowley is very particular, but laid back and nice. So I am grateful to be working there! Jesse is doing well in school as well and keeping busy. I also had the opportunity to go with some girlfriends to Asheville, NC and listen to Sister Beck (relief society president) talk by it. It was amazing. It was a question and answer talk. She is so inspired. I learned a lot and was uplifted. The picture with some girls are some of my awesome friends here. Love them. Well that's all of our news. Jesse had a great birthday and thanks to my family who sent him gifts and love. He loved them all. All my pics will be on Facebook.
