Sohail and I just got back from a fun filled week in Charleston. We were busy with lots of wedding planning but also managed to get time with family and friends in.
Because of Sohail's hard work we were able to make it down to Charleston in time to go to an oyster roast in celebration of Sarah & Barney's engagement. It was a great way to kick off the weekend and Sohail's first oyster roast. Here he is about to devour one.
With my college friends.
The next morning we went downtown to watch my Dad and brother compete in the Bulldog challenge. This was at the start of the race - looking good.
About 1/2 way through the course they had to swim through the marsh with huge sandbags.
At the finish line. Not looking so hot anymore!
Saturday night was Deena's bachelorette. Here we are at dinner.
Then at a drag show in an oddly placed and surprisingly fun bar that was right between a Seven Eleven and a Little Ceaser's Pizza
Sarah tormenting the bachelorette!
Shirin et al dancing.
Sunday morning we regrouped for a baby shower for Shirin and Kyyam.

Watching on as Shirin opened her gifts.
On Monday, after our friends returned to their jobs, we went to this beautiful coffee shop downtown that a couple from NY just opened.
We had several tastings and meetings with wedding vendors over the course of the week. Here's Maman ready to dig in a one of the tastings.
Sohail bought shoes and Max happily ripped up all the paper.

On a walking tour of downtown.

Our competition was nicer (looking) than us!
Friday was beautiful and Derek took us out on his new boat.
At Castle Pinkney - an abandoned castle in the middle of the Charleston Harbor that Derek and I both always wanted to explore and finally go to.
Sohail and Derek exploring amongst a lots of pelicans.
The three of us.
Fun with Derek
and Sohail!
Afterward we went to Ft. Sumter on which the first shots of the civil war were fired. It's also in the middle of the harbor but thanks to Derek, we didn't have to take the tour boat.

What a great Charleston week!
Wow. The whole time I looked at your Charleston activities, I was thinking: what a wonderfully cool city. I don't think I'd like to live there because it's all so spread out, but it's still a great place to visit.
I can't believe Derek has a boat already! I thought that was only for old, rich men. :)

PS I had a great weekend with all you guys. Looking forward to doing it again soon.
Haha! Derek is a veteran with disability pay which definitely qualifies him as an old man in my boat. He also has a Cadillac! Seriously, kids in my HS had boats (not just the rich ones).
I wish I could have been there with ya'll. It looks like a super fun weekend. I miss MAX!! He is my favorite doggie other than Cha Cha. :)
