Out on the town (Charleston)

So this is my final Charleston post, it actually makes me sad... Everything about Charleston is so wonderful.. Total picture overload, but I can't help it! I think my favorite part of C- town has got to be hands down king street! We made sure to walk down it everyday.. (Even with the heat index of 105). They have an adorable little candy store that, per request of Prince Noah we had to go to everyday! How could I say no to those perfect pouty lips.? He called it the Robot store... 

Hot Husband alert... Yep I said it! He has some great lips also!!
 I know I have kissed them a few times!

 Mellow Mushroom {LOVE}

 Luke doesn't look too happy!! I thought all kids
in candy stores were happy eh? 

Look how generous this place is!! Free Smells!! What a steal...

Just for fun!

 Market Lemonade Bar... So cute and Yummy!!

 Sweet grass baskets!

A little more Charleston (Beach Days)

Charleston August 2011
Ah How much do I love the beach!! We had such a great time!! I think Luke maybe ate 20 lbs of sand , but  I am sure he will be fine! Noah also overcame is fear of the waves and was actually frolicking in them freely! There is nothing like a day at the beach!

Charleston and Kat

Yes I said Charleston and Kat.

We were talking about going to Charleston for so long that Noah thought Jon's name was Charleston. I totally think it has a nice ring to it! 

Speaking of Jon and Kat they were so kind and brave to let us stay at their house {2 kids under 3}. We did have a great time and hopefully didn't wear out our welcome too much because I plan on going back soon!!  Thanks again guys, we love y'all!

 butter beer recipe

1 cup light or dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

6 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar

3/4 cup heavy cream, divided

1/2 teaspoon rum extract

Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda

In a small saucepan over medium, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.

Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/4 heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the rum extract.

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.

To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass). Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.
