Spring Break 2k13

We are currently en route to Charleston, SC for a five-day adventure that also includes a stop in Savannah, Georgia.

"We" is my three best friends from work - Ashley, Annie, and Erin. We have grown close through a shared opinion of our workplace...I'll leave it at that.

Our trip began with a 7 am departure time, and for the first hour or so we were driving through some unexpected and unwelcome March snow. Lucky for us, we were getting out just in time.

We had our first adventure somewhere in Georgia when we realized that, as a result of singing our lungs out to the Pitch Perfect soundtrack, we neglected to pay attention to the gas gauge, which read "40 miles to empty". The nearest gas station was 15 miles away. No worries - until the gauge mysteriously dropped to 15 miles, 8 miles, and eventually....3 miles, with another mile still to go until the exit. I was laughing and reassuring Ashley that we would be fine, but I was flipping out on the inside.

All that drama to say we made it with 2 miles left, and we're quickly back on the road.

We are currently about 80 miles outside of Charleston, and very ready to be out of the car. The sun is shining deceptively bright for such a chilly day, but it beats snow in Nashville. I'm excited to return to the charm of Charleston and experience Savannah for the first time, and even more excited to do it with an incredibly entertaining group.

Taking the south by storm!
