Weekend Re-Cap

I know I am a little late on this, but I thought I would do a quick recap of our Valentine's Weekend in Fripp.

Although the weather was not great, we had a good time and I'd say the trip was a complete success as far as relaxing and enjoying being with each other went!

We lounged around, slept late, watched a lot of TV, and took Abe to the beach several times. On Friday we had to rush around to get out of town and to Beaufort before 5:00 to pick up the golf cart before the shop closed. In our haste, I managed to remember everything...or so I thought. We plugged in the Wii Friday night and WEG asked me for the remote. Yep, that probably would have been a good thing to remember. So, the Wii was inoperable and there was no DVD player at the house, so there went most of our entertainment. Oh well, though. We just watched movies on TV and I was able to watch the Gamecocks beat Alabama in an exciting last second tip-in on Saturday afternoon. I'm still not sure if it was legit, but we'll take it!!

Dinner on Saturday night was DELICIOUS! We went to a local fresh seafood place and picked up a pound of grouper and crabcakes. WEG seared the grouper in lemon butter and then baked it in the oven and we had that with a crabcake each and loaded baked potatoes. And, for dessert chocolate and white chocolate covered strawberries. The meal was fantastic, and just as good as if we had paid $100 to go out to eat. I'm so glad WEG can cook because I am mostly a lost cause- a post on that later, though. I didn't think to take pictures and I probably would have been laughed at if I had.

As for Abe's beach adventure- he LOVED it!! He had never been to the beach, and he was like a crazy man running around. He would go crashing through the dunes (I know, I know- he wasn't supposed to, but try to stop a 70 pound ball of energy from doing what he wants), run through the pools of water, fly after the tennis ball and skid through the sand, and he absolutely adored retrieving the tennis ball in the ocean. I think he just liked to run through the waves. It was quite a sight to behold! I have a few pictures, but it was hard to get a good one that wasn't blurry because he was in constant motion.

But, for your viewing pleasure, here are a few.

Dripping wet and completely dirty, but oh-so-happy.

The sunset on Friday night. What a pretty sky!

No pics of the two of us, but WEG doesn't too much like pictures, so it would have been a lost cause!!
