Life in the Lowcountry: October 2017

Since I moved to South Carolina, my road trips became limited. For starters, I lost my roadtrip buddy and really a reason to go anywhere. I mean I live 10 minute from the beach, what more do I need?

Previous road trip memory lane...


This girl to my left and I have been numerous places on the east side of the nation, BUT this November we're packing our bags and heading out west to...

CALIFORNIA!

Primarily Disneyland (ahhh!) but a few other locations will be on the CA tour. I've already mapped out how long it would take us to drive to Laguna Beach, home of my favorite TV show during high school. I'm also interested in finding The Bachelor Mansion. If anyone knows already, shoot me a message. My sister and I are big college football fans, so I also wouldn't mind driving up to Pasadena to see the Rose Bowl stadium. Might be a long haul, but we'll see. Suggestions of things to do, places to visit, people to see are always welcome! Also I guess I should mention we aren't actually road tripping, we're flying. Realistically I don't have two weeks worth of vacation to make that drive- but one day it'll happen!

What else is new with me? Oh yeah, I served at another specials needs camp with the church I'm a part of! This day camp is just a morning/afternoon camp where we get to hang out a local horse farm here in Charleston! We did lots of sidewalk chalk, crafts, and playing ball. The farm lets us decorate the horses with a special paint they have, so the kids had a lot of fun doing that. We finished the painting with a good ol' fashion parade! After all the horses were cleaned up, we headed out to see the farm pig. The pig wasn't all that interested in hanging around anyone, unless they had carrots.

In other news, the OSU alumni club I'm in is hosting a tailgate on Saturday, October 28 and ya girl will be DJ'ing! lol~ and when I say DJ'ing, I mean I will have control of the playlist and make announcements on a microphone when needed. We'll be having a cornhole tournament, $3 beverages, food, Samuel Adams beer samples and more! Should be a good time, so message if you're interested in more details!

Our kickball team is getting ready to start our third season! Wahoo! This is our season, I have a strong feeling...

It's still pretty warm in Charleston and I'm trying my best to not just wear my favorite sweaters and wool skirts anyway BUT IT'S GETTING IMPOSSIBLE.

I've somehow managed to wean myself off of listening to 90's music 24/7. (even if Third Eye Blind will be in town next week!) Back on my country music kick. Maybe it's because I know the Coastal Carolina Fair is coming up??? And for the record, southern fairs are NOTHING like midwest fairs. Last year I couldn't wait to step foot into the livestock barn... except it was literally a litter of piglets, 5 brahman cattle (random, in my opinion), and I think two rabbits? The ride and fair food scene was decent at least. They also had a mechanical bull that I'm pretty sure I could ride for 8 seconds! (Anyone else remember Pike County Fair 2006??) Maybe I can round up the troops for a road trip to the fair!?... *cough, cough, Jasmine*

A Halloween party with the squad is in the making, but I still haven't confirmed what I want to be! I have a few ideas, but I always think of "something better" the night before. Send me some ideas, people!
