Hi everyone. Happy new week to you. And hello to everyone who stops by for T at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog.
This past weekend my husband and I took off on an adventure. Originally we had scheduled my daughter to dog and house sit for a week. We had to book her in back in December because she has to do some traveling around Massachusetts for her job, and some parts of Massachusetts are just too far for her to travel to and get back to our house without leaving the dogs for way too many hours. The reason we had to schedule so early is she needed to be able to leave her calendar clear.
However, due to several different reasons, we decided to just head out for a long weekend instead of a week. A weekend isn't a whole lot of time, so after deciding we didn't want to go on a semi-local road trip, we concluded that wherever we went we wanted a short and direct flight. We also decided we were not going to fly out of Logan International Airport in Boston because that's a whole other level of time consumption. We have a couple budget airlines that only fly 2 days a week in other local airports, so we decided to try out Breeze from Manchester (NH) and fly to Charleston, South Carolina. (We liked flying Breeze. We’d fly them again!) They fly this route on Fridays and Mondays, so that made it perfect for a weekend get away.
I went to Charleston 3 years ago, and I really liked the city. When I went then I was with a friend, and she and I did things my husband has no interest in. So even though I didn't go to a new place, I did a lot of new things and just did some more exploring. We also took a little road trip out of the city and visited a new (to both the hubby and myself) national park.
I haven't had a chance to go through most of my photos yet, since I'm posting this Monday evening. We had an early morning flight that left Charleston this morning at 7 AM. We watched the sun rise as the plane taxied to the runway.
...I hope that you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great place to visit
ReplyDeleteHow nice to get an airline like Breeze. I know you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to get away for a weekend and shake the dust of daily living off your feet!
ReplyDeleteBet that you had two had a great time! Look forward to the photos :-))
ReplyDeleteLOL I did hit F5 for just in case ;-) Lovely morning pic and yippee for a long weekend out and about.
ReplyDeleteMassachusetts always makes me laugh.
We had a comedian, Loriot and in the 1980´s... a show: the Mom from Massachusetts sent a piano as present and the Son aka now Dad wants to have the arrival on video - which was new. Video, oh, wow!
A scene was set up and the Wife had to eat a piece of cake whilst they performed a thank you.
They re-took the scene again and again, trying to say "Massachusetts".
At one point one kid says, "I feel sick." and the Wife later, "I don´t like any more cake!"
The men delivering the piano mix up the city and the family´s name... have a great T-Day, hugs and thank you for the memory. One day I really want to visit your country.
Glad you had a nice trip! You had an early morning, but you got home early too, which is great!
ReplyDeleteI hope your kindle (in the photo) isn't one of the ones that amazon is discontinuing to support! Your trip sounds great. I love quick and easy visits to interesting places.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more pictures and hear more details. Stay warm, but at least it's sunny. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great weekend away. I've just looked it up on the map. It's a fair while away. I'm looking forward to seeing the photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you reading?
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Looking forward to part 2! I've only been to Charleston once and only for a few hours so can't wait to see what I missed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunrise.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had a great weekend away, Erika. And I love the sunrises photos. Hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeletePleased you had a good weekend break Erika. Seeing you taking an internal flight reminds me just how huge your Country is compared with the UK where we get everywhere by road. I always recall a holiday in Florida, sitting in a hot tub after the flight, we had flown nine hours, so had the chap I was speaking to, but within the US.

Thanks, Erika, for the information on Breeze airlines and these excursions from the Manchester airport. The getaway weekend to Charleston, SC, sounded like fun even if a bit too short. It’s something we may consider, but not in summer months as the hot weather would be a deterrent. It’s why we did the recent Mississippi River cruise in April😏
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time! xoxo
ReplyDeleteA fascinating start to your journey and I'm looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you had such a lovely weekend away, Erika.
ReplyDeleteYour sunrise photos are breathtaking--such a peaceful way to start the day.
