As party of Daniel’s birthday celebration, I surprised him with a trip to Ambrose Family Farm for their “u-pick” strawberry fields (although they also grow other types of produce too). It’s approximately 900 acres (although we didn’t touch anywhere near that) and tucked away on an oak-lined road on Wadamalaw Island (about 45 minutes from […]

We started up at the School of the Arts […]

The area is becoming really vibrant, and the city of North Charleston and the Noisette Company seem really focused on revitalizing it. On Friday, Daniel and I took a half day from work and […]

The street post signs are already out, and I’m looking forward to the upcoming North Charleston Arts Festival, which will be May 2 through May 10. Daniel and I weren’t living in North Charleston at this time last year, so this is the first we’ve heard of the event. The festival’s website is very thorough […]

Those of you who know me already know how much I absolutely love strawberries, so I’m really excited about Boone Hall Plantation’s yearly strawberry festival (and I’m wondering how I managed to miss it last year).
According to their website, “this year’s lineup promises to deliver [more variety than ever]. More rides and games for the […]
