Trip to the Lowcountry

    When we are trying to think of a new place to drive to for a long weekend, its hard to find one we have not been to already. Rather than go to the beach this summer we decided to take a fall trip. We were in the process of moving over the summer so a trip would have been too difficult during that time. So we settled on Beaufort, SC since that was a place we had not visited before.
    Beaufort has similarities to Savannah and Charleston. It has beautiful historic homes and a nice waterfront area with a park and shops. I love port towns, so I could just imagine sitting in one of those beautiful waterfront homes (if it was mine) and looking out at the fishing boats and sailboats every day.
    Since we were only an hour from Savannah we spent a day there as well. The riverfront is a really cool place to just walk around, shop and have a bite to eat.  I could not believe how busy it was from the last time we were there. I guess it is growing like so many other southern cities! I recommend anyone going to Savannah to visit the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. It is truly a breathtaking church. Jeremy was touring it for the first time, so seeing his wide-eyed reaction when he walked in was so awesome.
   We always have fun with Jeremy. I think he has grown to appreciate the lowcountry towns like we have. For Mike and I, that time away from home is great, but it's spending the time with him means more than anything.

Dream home!
