Under the boardwalk, down by the sea...

...on a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be.

I am so excited for this weekend. Although I am not into Valentine's Day in the sense that I go all out buying a gift for WEG and expect roses and/or a gift for him, I do like to do something where it's just the two of us.

This year we are going to Fripp Island! We had thought about going to Charleston to stay with his sister & her boyfriend and go to the Southeastern Wildlife Expo, but Monday he asked me if I wanted to do something just us instead.

We narrowed it down to the mountains or Fripp, and decided on Fripp because 1) we have been wanting to go with all of our friends but couldn't find a date that worked and 2) it's a free place to stay since his family owns a house down there...on second row, so right at the beach!!

I know it probably won't be warm enough to do anything more than maybe walk on the beach, but it will be nice to get away, with no obligations or things to do. We can sleep late and do whatever we want, basically! I'm sure WEG will cook a great dinner on Saturday night and we'll be able to just enjoy each other's company.

If you've never been to Fripp or even heard of it, it's a small island in Beaufort County that has been made into a resort. There's no commercialization whatsoever. The island has a few shops and a marina and restaurants, but it's all private. Nobody that isn't staying there can come on the island. There are deer that roam all over the island and they will come up to you if you have food. You're not really supposed to feed them, but we do (shame on us, I know).

We went this summer with our friends, and I will post a few of the pictures below- of the deer, etc. I can't wait! Now I'm off to make my list of what to take for the weekend- yes, I'm severely Type A and can't function without a list for EVERYTHING!
