We quickly decided that a long weekend wasn't enough for us, so we decided to lengthen our 2018 trip. Since Charleston, SC was our most southern stop last year, we trailered down and started our journey there. Charleston is about a 5 hour drive from us so we decided to keep the first day's journey … Continue reading 2018 ICW Trip: Charleston, SC > St. Augustine, FL
2017 ICW Trip: Oak Island, NC > Charleston, SC
Our first multiple stop trip! This is the trip where I started to learn about boat trip planning. It involves much more planning when you have multiple stops. In a perfect world, we would have put our boat over in Southport, since that is where we last left off. We couldn't find a place where … Continue reading 2017 ICW Trip: Oak Island, NC > Charleston, SC
ICW Trip Necessities
Each year we have learned better ways of doings things and what items to bring on the trip. This is probably one of my favorite post of this series because I hope it's able to help someone else who is planning a trip like this. Let's dive in! Bikes: Without bikes, this trip would be … Continue reading ICW Trip Necessities
Planning Our ICW Trip
I would love to tell you that we just pack our bags, hop on our boat and set sail. Unfortunately, it's not that easy. With us not having a cabin and being on a smaller boat, we have to plan it all out just right. Some questions to consider before you start to plan your … Continue reading Planning Our ICW Trip
2016 ICW Trip: Surf City, NC > Southport, NC
This is the trip that really started it all! Our New Bern trip gave us the idea but this was what we consider the inaugural intracoastal waterway trip. This trip was planned on a Wednesday date night and we left that Friday! This was definitely the easiest trip to plan. Since we had done so … Continue reading 2016 ICW Trip: Surf City, NC > Southport, NC
Intracoastal Waterway Boat Trips: What started it all?
We've had a lot of questions about our boat trips since my husband, Rusty, posted on Facebook last year during our journey from Charleston, SC to St. Augustine, FL. In response, I figured I would do a series of blog posts to talk about our favorite trip of the year! So, what started this tradition … Continue reading Intracoastal Waterway Boat Trips: What started it all?
To pin or not to pin?
Oh, Pinterest! You've been the reason a lot of us can't get stuff done, the reason for yummy recipes, and the reason we think we can tackle projects that we're not quite qualified for (#Pinterestfail). When Pinterest first became popular, I spent an embarrassingly amount of time browsing the different categories. I have really stepped … Continue reading To pin or not to pin?
Master Suite Addition
As you probably saw in my Planning Our Masterpiece post, we decided to add on a master suite to the existing house. Before tearing out most of the first floor, the master bedroom and the guest bedroom shared a bathroom. The master also had a very tiny closet. We decided to somewhat mirror the garage … Continue reading Master Suite Addition
Rows and rows of granite!
For most women, picking out colors and materials is probably their favorite part of renovating. This is most definitely not the case for me! As much as I would love to think of myself as a Joanna Gaines, I'm awful at this kind of stuff. It stresses me out because I'm so worried I will … Continue reading Rows and rows of granite!
Exterior Planning
Oh, the exterior of the farmhouse. How I loathe you. The farmhouse was actually a cape cod style home. I have never been a huge fan of this style and don't care to see that much of the roof. The only thing the exterior had going for it was the front porch. It was amazing! … Continue reading Exterior Planning
