summer recap

  In May, we started the summer off to a great start. Souwan and I did a lot of yard work. We added tons of mulch, planted flowers and started a vegetable garden.   We attended  a great Kentucky Derby party at the Kilted Buffalo.   Souwan and I got out to the lake to watch the Dragon Boat Festival.   Then, we traveled out to the coast for my cousin Tom's graduation at East Carolina University.       In June, we celebrated our first anniversary as husband and wife at the beach. We enjoyed boardwalk at the beach, swimming and the sun time.   Souwan had a blast at the car show in our downtown.   Our friend Allison treated us to ice cream at her favorite new shop.   Our garden vegetables were growing very nicely in June. Our first garden did great! Can't wait to plant more vegetables for the fall.     We're wrapping up our summer in July. It's not over yet! We celebrated fo...

farmer's day 2013

My husband, myself, cousin Kit and Serena ventured out into the hot weather on Saturday to Farmer's day. Much like a farmer's market, but with more vendors and people. We enjoyed home made strawberry ice cream and Muscadine slushie in this warm weather. Muscadine is widely grown in the southern states of the U.S. It is a type of berry and can be eaten raw or made into wine. I love Muscadine wine. I ran into a vendor who made home made hot salsa from Wilmington area. I got a jar of his salsa. I'm excited to have some with tortilla chips. A lot of vendors had homemade crafts and food to sale. My cousin Noah and his family/girlfriend were out at a stand making their awesome chicken kabobs on this day. Vintage cars and tractors were on display, and my cousin Kit enjoyed the oversized tractors and vintage ambulance. Bands and clowns making balloons were set up for family entertainment. A great family time!

 BEACH FARMERS MARKET WATERFRONT PARK I am going to catch up on all of your blog posts that I have missed. In case you have not heard from me I have been in Charleston.

last of the DC trip

(taken with Iphone) This is the last of our trip to DC. We got to see the Washington Monument, Capitol building, and The White House. We did a quick tour of DC and hit the mall for some shopping/candy! DC was fantastic as always and the mall at Pentagon City was huge. Four floors of shops was heaven. DC is such an elegant place to see. The Federal Triangle was breath taking! I felt like there was a piece of old culture there. Shopping at Pentagon City so neat. One of the places I obsessed about was Sweet Factory. I had heard a lot about it and it was nice to finally experience it. Hope you enjoyed a little piece of my trip! =)
