This weekend I travelled to Charleston, SC to take a trip and celebrate mine and my niece Kaley’s 21st birthday. I was really excited because I had never been to Charleston but I’ve always wanted to go. We walked around and explored all day Saturday. Visiting the battery, the historical district, king St., and all of the cool little spots like the theatre and dancing to some jazz and 80’s music at the Commodore.

I really enjoyed my stay here, the architecture and history of the town sparks my interest. These were taken while we were walking around and exploring the town. I can’t wait to go back and visit!

August is usually my least favorite month. From school starting again to it being unimaginably hot and humid, I just never had a good time. This year I realized that it was a lot different. I realized that I would miss this summer, and the last few weeks we have left. I got to see Blink-182 in the Pit and see the Jonas Brothers on the floor all in the same month. Something I never really thought would happen, but had been on my bucket list since middle school.

A lot of hard work and growth has happened since last winter, and I have come to enjoy hot weather and the sun on my skin. Don’t get me wrong, there is much to look forward to in the fall. In-between my birthday and all my favorite holidays that make it so special, but there is something I’m going to miss after summer is finally gone.
