California Dreaming

If I had to pick one restaurant in Charleston, SC that I love it is California Dreaming. It is located on the waterfront across from the city and on the marina. The views are spectacular, the food is incredible and the restaurant looks like a fort. Yes a fort. You walk up steps into a grand room that is octagonal in shape and has the medieval chandelier that castles have. They have indoor and outdoor seating along with a bar. Prices range from $5.95 for appetizers and soups to $9.95 for huge salads and sandwiches to $22.95 for prime rib. They have a varied menu from chicken, steaks, seafood and sandwiches. Secret to seating is the Call Ahead Seating. Make sure you call when on your way and they will seat you as soon as your party is there. Most times this means you walk in the door, pass the people with pagers and get seated immediately. There phone number is (843) 766-1644.

Snow in the Lowcountry!

We are driving home from a wonderful weekend with my cousins in Georgia and there precious baby boy, "Thank you both for such a great weekend,"when all of a sudden my husband wakes me and says it is snowing. I woke up and said "What a cruel joke." Then what do my eyes see but SNOW. YEA! It has been since 2000 that we have seen snow. As we are driving it gets heavier and faster. We pull off at a gas station and my kids are running around with there mouth and hands open catching flakes. Meanwhile this guy is buying ice cream at Dairy Queen and laughing at the kids. Hey not there fault they don't remember snow, nor have they ever gotten to play in it. At one point it was so heavy and laying on the ground that I really could not believe we where in the Lowcounty. But regretfully at home we had flakes but nothing to write home about. No snow day for my children. LOL. But we will always remember Tuesday, January 20, 2009 as a snow day and hope the next one is coming soon.
