Happy Sunday!
We’ve had a lovely weekend at home in Charleston! It’s been a bright and sunny few days to be outside so we’ve taken advantage by going for walks and bike rides with Maybelle. I attended The Good Fest yesterday with some girlfriends here in Charleston and left feeling so inspired! Edwin and I also popped by our favorite fish market for fresh fish that we cooked at home last night. Honestly, it’s been blissful! Next weekend, I will be very busy with five friends in town so I definitely took this weekend as an opportunity to relax and savor time with Edwin. We did enjoy one fun meal out at Tu. Tu used to have a very interesting and eclectic menu but it recently relaunched with an Indian food menu and my was it delicious! I highly recommend it.
