Our First Valentine's Day

Ryan and I started dating in 2002 so obviously he has been my Valentine for quite some time. This was just our first time being married during the national day of love. Therefore, it was the most special one yet! I don't know if I have ever mentioned it before but, my hubby is pretty much just great...so of course he didn't disappoint for our "first" Valentine's Day!

He took me to Charleston to stay at the Charleston Place Hotel. He went all out and got the Grill Gourmet Package which included dinner at Charleston Place Grill and a yummy breakfast the next morning. The whole entire time was AMAZING! We were certainly living large that night! The hotel is gorgeous. Charleston is clearly beautiful. The hotel staff treats you like royalty, and the food was some of the best I have ever had.

When we first got into town we strolled through the streets of Charleston taking in all of the sights. Then we headed back to the hotel to get ready for our dinner. We got all dolled up and went to the restaurant for some cocktails while we waited on our table. Once we got to our table we ordered a bottle of wine and a crab cake appetizer. (always tasty!) For our meal, Ryan ordered Duck Confit & Blackberries and I chose Seared Flounder and Crab Succotash. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it all. I had to get dessert (duh!) so we got Devil's Food Cake. Delish!

I thoroughly enjoyed being wined and dined by my man! :)

Our room...they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a suite when we got there!

I wish we could relive our trip every weekend!

I'm leaving you with a picture I took of "The Gonz" this morning...

This is how he sleeps...what a mess!
