Headed south again this weekend to escape the cold. Although it was only in the 50′s in Charleston, it was much warmer than the 30′s in DC. Great weekend. Lots of fun again and lots of really good food. Our restaurant list for the week was:
1) Monza – Pizza
2) Pearlz – Oysters and Fish – met the Fig Chef at Pearlz
3) Poogan’s Porch – Shrimp and Grits
4) Oak Steak – NY Strip
5) Rue de Jean – recommend you skip this one
6) Cypruss – Appetizers, soup and salad and wine
Did I tell you the food in this town is really good! What’s also amazing is that it costs half as much as in DC. Really, although probably expensive for North Carolina we’re always amazed how little we spend on really good food.
Anyway, here are a bunch of pictures from the weekend.
A Nearly deserted Mega-Dock

Dock Art
Our Location - 790 feet from the Start of the Dock - not including the 800 feet to shore
Dock Porn
Dinghy Parking
End of the Dock - 1530 Feet from the start - not including 800 feet to the Parking Lot
Nice but not Warm
High Tide - Highest Tide we've seen this winter had both docks at the same height
Low Tide - Lowest we've seen would be another 2 feet down
Fishing the Rising Tide
Invasion of the Republicans!
Huntsman Working the Crowd
So Phyll and I waited outside to shake his hand. Sure enough, 10 minutes later, Huntsman, his wife Teresa and daughter exited the Virginia restaurant. Shook Phyll’s hand, then my hand – he really did, we were on the Today show and on Channel 4 in DC. Waiting to see if we make the NBC Nightly News tonight! Of course, after shaking our hands, he withdrew from the race. Cause and Effect? I think so.
Charleston Yacht Club
Fantastic Anchor - holds in Brick
A Dolphin - I swear it was a Dolphin
Back home tonight and ready to hit the bricks tomorrow as we go back to work. Fair winds!
Dining through Charleston sounds wonderful! Thanks for getting rid of Huntsman;-)
Maybe I should talk to Newt next! What are the chances one of these guys can save us?
