This the last post from our recent beach getaway. Our last day at the beach was rainy so while the boys enjoyed playing indoor putt-putt and laser tag, the girls enjoyed lunch at a local tea room and a little shopping at a couple of beach and antique thrift shops. We went to this tea room a couple of years ago to celebrate Emma's birthday, but my camera battery had died then so I couldn't get pictures. I made sure to take some pictures this time. {Natasha, I especially thought of you and wanted to share the pictures with you.} Our lunch was so yummy as we enjoyed cucumber and other little sandwiches, dainty petit fours, fruit, and other sweet treats. The tea was definitely the yummiest part of the fare though. I had a very refreshing and yummy vanilla green tea, and I finished my entire pot of tea. Yes, I also thought of my sweet little girl on this trip and how much she would have loved this place when she was older. I hope she enjoyed watching her cousins drinking tea and playing dress up!

I just loved our girls' day out!
Oh. My. Goodness. Add that place to the list of ones we will go to when I come to visit you :) That place looks amazing and that food is making me hungry. And those hats... Just so you know I will be wearing one of them when we go there :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I just know Miss Mattie was with you all in spirit.
Oh yes, tea time will be a must! We'll hit the beach, the mountains, Charleston, and places where you can enjoy good southern food! It will be amazing! :-) I did wear a hat that Emma brought me, but it was so big that it kept covering my eyes. Ha! Yes, Mattie will always be with us in my heart!
DeleteWhat a cool place! The food looks so yummy! I think the hats are super cute too! Little Cate drinking her tea is just adorable. I'm sure sweet Mattie was watching with a big smile.
ReplyDeleteI just think tea parties are one of the cutest parts of having little girls. I gave my oldest niece her first tea set for her first Christmas present so I was pretty excited for her to start using it. Having a tea party with Mattie will be a must when we meet again! ;-)
DeleteSo cute, and I love all the twinkle lights too! looks fun : )
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kelly! The decor is just so cute...very over-the-top girly, but that is part of the charm! :-)
DeleteLove it! I love going to tea and it has been far too long since the last time I went. All of the food looked yummy and all of the girls looked like they had a great time.
