Update from Paradise

We are now in Hilton Head, but I will update on our last few days. We got up Thursday morning and went to Fort Sumter. I had been many times, but Brent had never been. It was nice, but the fire ants and sand burrs from my youth were still there. The trip over there was cold, but it had warmed up by the time we got back on the ferry. We left there and went to Poogan's Porch for lunch. As soon as I walked in, I realized that I had seen this restaurant on a Most Haunted show. Great. It was the best lunch. We shared fried green tomatoes and I had shrimp with saffron rice and collard greens. Yum. I can't remember what Brent had, but it had fries with it, and we dipped them in the remoulade from the tomatoes! We spent the rest of the afternoon WALKING all over...through neighborhoods, the Battery, Battery Park, Waterfront Park. It was lovely. We then got in our cool car and drove to my old schools and neighborhood. We also had to stop at the Nike and Adidas outlets, of course. Then we went to Hyman's Seafood for a late supper. It was divine. Lots of famous people eat there. Lindsey Wagner, Sam Lender(like the bagels), Mikel Barishnocov, and Neil Diamond had eaten at our table.

Yesterday, Brent got up and ran all through downtown Charleston while I slept. We took one last stroll down King Street and then headed to Hilton Head. It took us about 2 hours and we got here and checked into our GORGEOUS condo. Brent has done so well choosing everything for this trip. We rested in the condo and then took a walk on the beach. Then we headed out to dinner at Mellow Mushroom...yum. I love this place. Can you tell we like to eat??? Then we went to some grocery stores and TJMaxx (don't you go to TJMaxx on your vacations?).

It is now late morning on Saturday and Brent has already been on a bike ride and gone to get a pool key. We are headed out to the beach!
