Wanderlusting

WANDERLUST: a very strong and irresistable impulse or desire to travel the world.

Its no secret that Mr. R and myself are huge fans of world travel.  Our favorite TV show is Amazing Race and we pretend each episode that we are competing, we might even try out one day...if we can get in shape haha.  I was very fortunate to travel alot as a child and Mr. R has gone the more "wilderness" route with his Boyscout and NOLS adventures.  I come from a long line of wanderlusters and we are excited about our up and coming voyages to Kiawah and the western Carribean.  We hope to travel many places in our lifetime including a couple of these out of this world locals.  Where is the one place in the world you would drop everything to travel to?

Thinking Fall Thoughts

The beginning of this week there was just barely a *hint* of coolness in the breeze in Charleston.  It was a very noticeable difference compared to the opressive heat and humidity of late.  Granted it only lasted about two days, early in the morning, it gave a nice sneak peak into the upcoming months.  Media, stores, fashion, home decor, etc. seem to think we are already in late November and soon will have Christmas cards and decorations in stock so there have been plenty of items to spark my nostalgia for cool fall days.  Here are a few of my favorite things, what are some of yours? 

I can't wait to jump into my favorite JCREW lounge clothes

What about these adorable Halloween pumpkins for our front porch with a couple pots of geraniums?

Hopefully Mr. R, Tucker and I can schedule a quick getaway up I-26 to Asheville for a weekend to enjoy the beautiful fall colors of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
