Texas Visits

This past weekend two of my nieces, Emily and Caroline, came to visit from DFW!  We had such a fun time eating, shopping, playing with Harper and Hudson, and going to the beach.

We went to the new ice cream place on King Steet, Jeni’s, and it was delish.  I have been wanting to try it and it didn’t disappoint.  After lots of sampling, I settled on the lemon and blueberry flavor.  It was so refreshing and was filled with fresh blueberries.  Saturday night, we tried Boxcar Betty’s, a new restaurant on 17 in West Ashley.  They specialize in fried chicken sandwiches.  I tried the chicken and waffle sandwich and while it was messy it was very tasty.  It had a bacon jam with pimento cheese.  We would definitely go back.

Jimmy’s family from Houston was also in town this weekend and stayed until Tuesday.  Monday night we went to eat at Starz on King Street.  I have been to the rooftop for drinks several times, but can’t believe it was my first time having dinner!  We had the bacon tator tots, mussels (well they did), and salads for apps.  I ordered the filet with truffle grits as my entrée and I was very impressed.  Anything with truffle is good in my book.  For dessert, we pretty much had everything and shared…butterscotch crème brulee, coconut cake, some type of key lime something, and a smores pie.  Butterscotch crème brulee was the winner in my book.

Needless to say, there’s probably a reason other than our growing baby why my clothes are getting a little tighter!
