We recently spent a great long weekend in one of our favorite cities: Charleston, SC! We had a nice drive down and wonderful weather for all our time in town. We all gathered for the Cooper River Bridge Run. Ben had done it as a teenager, Tom ran it last year, and so we all went for this year’s run. Luke did the kids’ run on Friday, earning a medal for participation---he was so proud and wore it out everywhere we went most of the weekend. The 10K race and walk began at 8Am Saturday morning, but we had to be bused to the start in Mt. Pleasant before they closed the bridge down to traffic---line up at 6:30. It was chilly morning, but everyone warmed up once they were moving. Ben was sick with a cold all week leading up the race, but still managed to finish with a great time. I was the slowpoke of the group, but was happy to finish my first 10K in fairly good time for a walker.
It was Luke’s first time in Charleston and we had to take the drive out to some of Ben’s favorite old haunts on Sullivan’s Island---Poe’s Tavern is always a great stop. We also ate at some great restaurants back in town including Blossom and my all-time favorite Rue de Jean. We hit the rock shop, watched the NCAA tournament, and just relaxed. It was a real treat with lots of help with Luke and time to rest. Can’t wait to go back again!
