Holy cow I have been bad about blogging although I have tried to stay caught up with everyone.
Vacation was nice. It was just nice to get away and relax and have to be anywhere or worry about anything. We did end up in Charleston for the day and my inner nerdy self was so excited. Although we didn't have a chance to do all the historical things I wanted too we did get to the ocean and to the slave market. We also stopped and ate at 2 of the restaurants that had been on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives on Food Network. The first place was a converted gas station and we just appetizers there but the 2nd place was called The Tattooed Moose. It was such a little hole in the wall but the food was so good. I had a Cuban with smoked pork, Matt had a smoked brisket and my cousin's wife had a grilled cheese with bacon. We split an order of fries that were fried in duck fat. It sounds weird but was very very good.
After vacation life has been kind of hectic at work with meetings and gearing up for harvest which will probably start earlier than normal due to the dry weather. We are luckier than most but it still isn't pretty.
On another note, I caved and we ordered a pontoon boat. Well, a big reason I caved was because he parent's will be paying for most of it. As bad as it sounds, we now get a boat without having to fork over tons of money. So we are getting the boat on Wednesday and going camping/boating this weekend!
Whew that was a lot of catching up to do. My brain has been a tad scattered though as we get closer and closer to our appointment on Thursday to see Peanut. Eek can't believe I am 20 weeks. Time sure is flying by!!

Fries in duck oil are the best! I know you have been thinking about the pontoon boat for a few months now. Congrats on getting one and have a fun camping trip!
ReplyDeleteThanks I will post pics. Thinking about you today.
DeleteOh, the pontoon boat will be so much fun! And next summer you will be able to bring Peanut out on the water with you:)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE going to restaurants that have been on Triple D. Two years ago we hit quite a few on our anniversary trip up north and we ate some really fun food! No fries in duck oil, though! Not sure if they have those around here!
You must be so, SO excited for Thursday! Eee! What fun it will be to see Peanut again and to find out if you are having a little mister or little miss!!
Hope all goes well with the upcoming harvest. When does that usually occur? How early will it be this year?
That was one of Matt's selling points, just how much peanut will love the boat. I am so excited for Thursday I feel like this week has drug on and on. Harvest usually starts mid to late September and runs through October and depending on the weather can go into November. It will probably start more towards the beginning of September but farmers are the most impatient people on the planet and if they see their neighbor running they will start. It is crazy, hectic and I see more of everyone else's husbands than my own but oh well.
DeleteThat is awesome about the boat! Bird is right, how fun will it be next year?! Thursday will be here before you know it! Mom and I were just talking about your appointment last weekend....I feel boy for you. Maybe it's that I'm imagining Peanut in those too cute cowboy boots :)
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the few that thinks boy. Boy or girl there will be cowboy boots in their future =)
DeleteSounds like a great trip!! My DH and I love to go to Tripple D restaurants while we are on vacations. Love that show!
ReplyDeleteIt is one of the shows that we can always turn on and watch, even if we have seen it before.
DeleteI'm with Laura on all accounts! Yay for the boat, for bringing the peanut, and Cowboy boots. I feel boy as well! Not sure why. Just do! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is. My college roommate was at my house yesterday and she says girl and she has never been wrong so either we break her streak or keep it going.
