I will never grow up. I can't help it, I'm over 30 and still love going into a candy shop and filling a bag with cheap sugary treats. That sense of awe and wonder can still hit me coming upon a colorful display. Honestly, just about every vacation we've ever been on, we'll find the candy shop and spend at least $20 between the two of us. We were coming out of the deli near us after dinner when a thunderstorm suddenly erupted. We ran into the nearest store which happened to be a candy/party store. 15 pieces for $1! How can you resist?! Doesn't matter that it's crap for me, I'll work it off some other way and pay whatever I need to at the dentist. Screw it, life's too short.
Speaking of the weather, let me give you a little lesson on what we've discovered about South Carolina weather. As you expect it's hot and humid, but unless you're a real winter lover, you really do get used to it. Plus, everywhere you are has central air. Average summer temp is 91 degrees or higher. We've been told to expect that well into October. Also, we get a thunderstorm here nearly every day. You can almost set your watch to it, right between 4 and 6 in the evening. According to the locals, it's not unusual to be wearing shorts for Christmas. For a summer girl at heart, that's music to my ears. I plan on cackling obnoxiously when “winter” really sets in and the locals start complaining how “cold” it is, or freaking out about the inch of snow we may get. When Clayton was interviewing for his position, the conversation steered towards winter here, and they said how last year was a “bad winter” cause they got 3 inches of snow. LOL!! That is adorable. Connecticut had received 2 feet of snow before the official winter solstice!
Stay tuned next week, for posts about Folly Beach, and what to expect for moving expenses. Have a great weekend!
