Our weekend was relatively calm. Rich and I met thanks to the Cooper Bridge Run almost three years ago but since that day we have yet to run a race together so a few weeks ago we decided to sign up for the James Island Connector Run since we are missing the fateful Cooper Run this year due to our move. Despite it being a 5k, it was tough! The fact that I didn't train and the course had 3 hills really threw this retired runner for a loop. But, the course was beautiful and it's always fun to get out of bed early and get some Saturday morning exercise in.
Following our 5k, it was only right we indulge in some French delicacies in a new French bakery we've heard so much about. If you remember, we were supposed to be in Paris and London this week, so getting to taste some delicious French pastries was just the treat we needed.
That night we went over to Daniel Island for the island's annual Pumpkin Walk. All the neighborhoods on the island get together and carve pumpkins all afternoon and then display them in the park lit up and with luminaries for folks to stroll through. Despite it being a warm night, it certainly made Halloween feel so soon and so real. I LOVE the magic of Halloween, even as an adult. I remember how exciting trick or treating was and I am so hoping we get some at our house this Saturday.
What a cute little Curious George. It's hard to see but he even has the ears on the side.
Sunday was my traditional church time. I got one of my favorite seats at church right next to the candles.
Sunday night we had some Wake Forest friends visiting Charleston. We had an awesome time taking them to one of our favorite spots off the peninsula, Crave, laughing and catching up. I love living in a town where folks come through for visits or vacations!
So that was about it for this low country weekend, what all were you guys up to?
