Change of Plans

Last weekend, we were supposed to go to Charleston. We ended up not going, due to the super high heat index and the fact that David's dog would have to stay outside in the 100+ degree weather. So we have postponed our trip until next weekend, which I guess works out better since it is his friend's birthday and a lot of his other friends are coming into town for the festivities.

We did however, manage to take a quick road trip up to Hilton Head, SC though....and all at David's suggestion! I have been hinting around that I wanted him to take me to the outlet mall, which is only 30 miles away, and quite torturous for me knowing they are so close. So on Saturday, David surprised me and told me he was finally taking me! So we loaded up and hit the road. The outlets in Hilton Head are in 3 separate phases, all about 1 mile apart, so we only hit up the first one. I figured that was all David could handle. But I got to hit up JCrew, BCBG, and Saks so I was satisfied.

After shopping, we rode down to Hilton Head Island for lunch. I always see people wearing Salty Dog Cafe t-shirts, so I told David we should check it out and try to go there for lunch. So that's exactly what we did. And after all my obsessive picture taking of late, I will have you know that I barely took any pictures this weekend! Shocking, I know! I did manage to snap two while we were down at the Salty Dog, but I'm sure you are tired of seeing David's mug, so I will spare you that one :-)

This was looking down onto the outside dining area. I wish I would have taken one of the marina that the deck looks onto because it was so pretty. I am trying to convince David to buy a boat, so we can float up to Hilton Head when we want to. It's not far at all from Savannah, especially by boat!

We had a nice day until the drive home. That's when we got into a small car accident. We got hit from behind, but luckily there was no damage to either vehicle, so we called it a day.

I did snap a picture of David and the other driver though. I can see the relief on David's face that everything was good!

One interesting part of the weekend, was that I got to watch a movie being filmed!! They were filming the movie CBGB in different places in Savannah and we happened upon the set on Friday night.

They were filming on Congress Street right beside Paula Deen's restaurant and right beside our favorite hang out spot. So, we got to walk right past the scene and all the makeup stations, cameras, etc. It was so neat to see the behind the scenes. This was what we watched being filmed:

We watched that guy playing the cop and the one and only Professor Severus Snape Alan Rickman!  There was another Harry Potter cast mate there that I was hoping to see, and that is Ron Weasley. The movie also has Ashley Greene of Twilight fame, as well as Leonard aka Johnny Galecki from Big Bang Theory! Sadly, I saw no random celebrity sightings, although we did pass a lady who looked so much like Paula Deen that Paden seriously about freaked out and went back to have his picture taken with her. We finally convinced him that it was not Paula, just a lady with white hair :) ha!

Well, that's about it. Hopefully next week I will have some Charleston pictures to share! Hope everyone has a fabulous Fourth of July!
