Since our vacation plans changed we ended up being in Charleston on my actual birthday. Unsure of exactly what we would be doing on that actual day, Sabian planned a dinner out for us the night before we left to go out of town. Coincidentally or providentially, however you want to look at it, that night happened to be a Thursday night, which also happens to be all-you-can-eat crab night at that little place I like, Two Crabs.
I realize I spent an entire post writing about crab the last time we went for this feast so I will spare the details and just refer you to that post. But, I do have better photos to accompany today's post.
While we were crackin' away Addie was next door with the Millers. Mrs. Miller, who is a teacher at the middle school, brought home a bag of goodies for Addie to play with, which included a white board and dry erase markers. She couldn't have known a better item to bring home as one of Addie's favorite past times lately is to write. We're still learning to keep it on the paper...
The white board was such a success that when it came time for us to leave Addie barely looked up from her "writing" to offer a hearty wave goodbye as we walked out. When we returned, stuffed and satisfied, we learned that Addie had a leaf throwing duel with Mr. Miller, played in the dirt and, among other activities, colored one of the Miller's new kittens pink.
In a nutshell, she had a grand ol' time. I had a hunch that the Millers were going to sleep very well that night.
My celebration was a fun kickoff for our vacation that was to start the next day. Little did I know just how exciting the beginning of our trip would be...intrigued? Good, there's more to come!
I am thankful for my thoughtful husband who treated me to a sweet birthday celebration.
