Mr. Ben's Birthday and a Day at the Beach!!

My weekend was super duper fun!! I had decided to make the quick three hour trip to Charleston to celebrate one of my dear friend's son's 1st Birthday on Saturday. I got up early, headed out around 8am, and got there just in time. I haven't been able to spend a good chunk of time with them in awhile and wanted to see them before wedding season really kicked in. We have three weddings back to back in June and a wedding every month after that through October! Seriously!! That's a whole 'nother post! Goodness gracious!!

Mason wasn't able to join since he had previously committed to going to a Bachelor party for one of his buddies. He was a tad bit jealous after I told him I'd be spending the rest of the afternoon at the beach. What a fun day! They had a barbeque in their back yard. Mr. Ben got to swing in his new swing, eat yummy food, try his best to eat his smash cake, but the boy was not having it! He was super hot and everyone was staring at him. I'd cry too if everyone just stared and laughed at me! hehe After he (aka Dadda) opened his gifts, we headed to the beach!

Oh the beach was just perfection!! It was a hot day in Chuck-town, but the beach was just lovely. Warm with a nice breeze and the water was like a bath. I had originally planned to stay till 6pm and head back to Charlotte, but my dear friends insisted I'd stay over, so I could go to dinner with them and spend more time together. I didn't want to even suggest it since they had both their families in town, etc. But since it was just moi, they had plenty of room for me to crash. I did pack a small bag just in case! Honestly, three hours to the beach is not bad AT ALL!! We need to do that more often, even if its just for the day! xx
