Spur of the Moment Trip to Charleston and a Vacation for YOU!

Oh hey, Monday… You really snuck up on my out of no where this go round. I wish I had a weekend recap for you. Sadly, my weekend only consisted of work and rain. As a writer, who dabbles in event coordinating, marketing and real estate, I am consistently trying to convince myself that I live a wicked, awesome life. Only, I’ve yet to find the balance between work, life, and relaxation. Saturday night after I wrapped up an appointment with a bride, followed by dinner with the hubs, I decided I needed to do something fun before I wrap up summer. I mean, summer is supposed to be all about relaxation, right? Sunday morning, bright and early, I got a text from my mother. And then, within five minutes, I got another text, but this time from my sister. These two crazies have decided to throw together an extremely last minute glamping vacation getaway. They were both texting me their best sales pitches, trying to convince me to drop everything THIS WEEK and head to Charleston, SC with them. Seriously, who does this?! With 48 hours notice, the proposed plan was for the three of us to leave Tuesday morning. {As in tomorrow!} I explained to both of them that it’s a huge week for me at work, at which my mom reminded me that I work from home. My pop-up office can pop up anywhere! Even at a campsite in Charleston!

Morris Island, Charleston - Summer of Go!

Still being on the fence about this, but in dire need for a couple of days filled with chillaxing, my mom decided to invite Chloe. At which point I pondered it a bit more… and said yes. {Let’s be real - Charleston is one of my all time favorite cities to visit anyway! Why wouldn’t I want to go back?!}

Vacation in Charleston, SC! Tommy Bahama Summer of Go!

So tomorrow, myself, my dog and my pop-up office will be heading to South Carolina with my mom and my sister. Thank goodness for iPhone hotspots and campgrounds with wifi - making this trip a possibility! Who is ready for some family bonding and relaxation!? Pray for us. No, but seriously. I have decided that I need to start embracing all the perks of working from home. Especially in the summer when the definition of summer is basically sunshine and relaxation. And clocking in from a remote, but fresh and new location may be exactly the relaxation I need. Since I can’t take you with me on this spur of the moment vacation to Charleston, how about you go on your own vacay? No, Seriously! Tommy Bahama is here to help all of us relax. Not only are they giving away some awesome prizes but they are ready to help us celebrate National Relaxation Day on August 15. Who knew such a day even existed?! And why haven’t we all been celebrating this every single year?!

Ohhhh. Good thing I’ll be in NASHVILLE on National Relaxation Day. Although I’m not sure how relaxing my bachelorette party will be 😉

Have so much fun in Charleston! I definitely miss the days when I could work from anywhere!

L.O.V.E. this! My crazy ridiculous Type-A personality would probably have a panic attack, but I adore the idea of a last-minute vacay…just throwing some things in a suitcase and going! LOVE IT! Enjoy the time with your mom & sis…with MINIMAL work!
