Happy hump
day!!! I can’t believe it’s been so long since my last post!! I’ve just been
busy with other things the last few days and we had our friends in town this
past weekend! We were so excited to see Clam and so thankful they came down to
visit us from Virginia! Friday night we took them to two of our favorite restaurants,
that’s right two!! We had to take them to this wonderful little place that
serves the most amazing bacon appetizer that I have ever tasted. It’s called
The Oak Table and is located right in the heart of downtown Columbia. The bacon
is seasoned with Thai spices, maple syrup sugar and a special cayenne. It is to
die for and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!
The Oak
Table is also located directly across from the statehouse so of course we had
to take a picture!
After dinner
we went to a rooftop bar and had another drink, the weather was perfect and
there was even a fireworks show that we were able to see! All in all it was the
perfect evening!
Saturday we
took Clam out on the boat, the weather didn’t want to cooperate but we were all
troopers about it! There happened to be a large music festival going on which
was so great, there must have been over 100 boats out there! Of course that didn’t
stop anyone, it was still very warm out and the music was great!
I made the
most delicious sangria to drink out on the boat as well. I just googled various
recipes and ended up using what I had at home! Here’s what I included:
2 bottles of
pinot noir
1 cup brandy
1/2 cup
triple sec
2 cups lemon
lime soda
2 oranges
sliced
2 limes
sliced
2 lemons
sliced
1.5 cups
frozen raspberries and strawberries
It turned
out so yummy and good! I should also mention that I let it sit overnight so the wine really soaked in the tangy lemon, lime and orange flavor!
We ended the
weekend doing what we all love best, brunchin'!! We took Clam to our favorite
spot Arko’s where we feasted on shrimp & grits, eggs, bacon, breakfast
burritos and bottomless mimosas of course!
We had so
much fun with them and they really loved Columbia and what it had to offer! We cannot
wait to see them in October for a friends wedding!
