Yesterday Bo and I took a daytrip to Columbia, South Carolina to meet this adorable threesome.

Amy, one of my oldest friends, had a baby back in March and while I had the chance to meet him for some newborn adventures in April, Bo still hadn’t met him yet. Since Amy was in Charlotte for the holidays we figured out that Columbia, South Carolina was a perfect halfway point. Luckily Trip Advisor recommended The Gourmet Shop, a Columbia spot near University of South Carolina campus which is a kitchen store, wine shop and restaurant.

The restaurant was sweet enough to seat us at a corner table where we could chat and enjoy getting to know Parker and catch up without bothering other guests. We sipped on coffee and ate an early breakfast while passing the very content 9 month old around.    

After lunch we strolled around the block, popping into the multiple boutiques and shops. Bo offered to watch his new best friend Parker, so Amy and I could enjoy a few minutes of girl time and browse in the adorable shops.

It was such a fun visit and the perfect amount of time for little Parker. The drive home wasn’t as easy as the drive up as we had lots of traffic on I-95 south. Luckily episodes 3-7 of Serial kept us occupied! We are both hooked and already looking forward to our time in the car tomorrow to listen to the next episode!

Have you listened to SERIAL yet? Thoughts?
