Charleston/House Update

My mom and I went to Charleston this past week to pick out the finishes for our house and it was a lot of fun. I was actually kind of dreading it because they get money out of you any way they can (and I hate that kind of a thing; when did people stop making good products?!?!). Anyway, the trip started off a little rocky as there was some bad weather in Houston Monday morning and our flight was delayed a couple of hours. But we still got there in time to go out to the lot and tour the model home in the neighborhood. I couldn't just copy and paste a picture of our floorplan, but you can see it

We added the bonus room upstairs as well. The way they decorated their model is pretty ugly; don't worry, I do not plan to take notes from their designer. Here are some other pics I took:

Our lot: Its sold!! :)

This is our siding color, NOT our house

This is what our house will look like, plus a room above the garage

The next morning we went to the design center and picked out all the finishes from appliances to wall color to faucets. I didn't take my camera to the design center (dumb, I know, but I was nervous and forgot). After that we drove down to one of the public beaches to have lunch, again me still without a camera. Wednesday was pretty much a day we had to ourselves (no errands to run) so we went to downtown Charleston and explored down there. We had lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp (very touristy place, but since one of my brothers' nickname is Bubba, we had to go). Then we explored the open air market, a must for those visiting Charleston: they have some very cool stuff, and walked around the shops on the main drag. After dinner we headed back to the base (where we stayed) and relaxed for our departing trip the next morning. Here are some miscellaneous pics of Charleston:

A very cool church downtown

Me trying to be artistic (thats not the camera strap, its looking out from under a covered area); I tried...

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

Me trying to be artistic again, I thought the lighting on the church was nice.

Well, thats about it for now. I'll be heading up to Oklahoma next week to see Kyle, so I will update then.
