Happy Birthday! (Days 34/35)

Happy Birthday to me! Yes that's right, day 35 is August 2nd which is my birthday. For a rough start it has sure turned out to be a great day. On Sunday we made the eight hour drive from DC to Columbia South Carolina where mom's cousins (and my some kind of relation) live. It was great, we had a real southern dinner which was delicious and included food such as ribs, hush puppies, and fried chicken. Everything was great until I realized that I had left the keys in the trunk and that my spare key was locked in the car! It was a good thing that we had at least already gotten our suitcases out. But that put a shadow over the rest of the night. So tomorrow it's my birthday and we can't get into our car. But luckily we got a locksmith over at 9 in the morning and he was able to open the car in about 5 seconds. So without further ado we continued on to Charleston. We stopped in Charleston so that mom could get a sea grass basket (which are outrageously expensive) and so that we could look at some of the mansions. We didn't go in any of them, but it was just as cool to look at them from the outside. We stopped for lunch at a local deli, which was incredibly delicious and then continued on to Savannah Georgia. Now in Savannah, we went to a local buffet and then got our hair cut, because we both thought our hair was getting long. So overall it was a great birthday!

Note from Mom: Yes the basket is expensive but it is my one treat for the trip...it is worth it. Also, we stopped and bought hot boiled peanuts. Tyler thought they tasted like mashed potatoes. Hannah thinks they taste like black beans. I thought they tasted great. If you haven't eaten them, try them, you may like them
