Coast, Coast, Coast

Have I mentioned that I'm impulsive?  Yeah, just a bit. Sunday morning I woke up and told myself, "It's time to buy a DSLR." Don't get me wrong - I had been researching them for months, so I knew what I wanted. I was torn between the Canon Rebel XSI and the Nikon D3100. Since I'm an instant gratification kind of girl, I was having trouble dropping several hundred dollars on something I had to wait for in the mail. Stupid, I know. Well, when I woke up and started perusing the weekly sales ads, I noticed that the Nikon went on sale at Target. Yep, I could now drop several hundred dollars just a few miles down the road. And that's just what I did.

Born into my life on 10/24/10 weighing 1 lb, 1.8 oz, this is my new baby:

I didn't even know how to react towards it at first. The whole drive home I just stared at it sitting in my passenger seat. Once the battery charged, Margaret and I immediately decided to have a photo shoot at Mt. Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park. We seriously took 183 photos. Here are my favorites of the park:

Just a few reasons why I love living on the coast. And speaking of the coast, we thought this would be a great opportunity for us to show off the Coast polos that TJ gave us! Glamour shots!

 

We had the best time being cheesy and not caring what anyone thought about all our posing! After our glamour shots, we got for real glamorous and headed to another Coast - the restaurant. Sunday nights are the best because they have 1/2 priced bottled wine, $3 tacos, and live music! Lucky for us, champagne was also included! Cheers!

To soak up the bubbly, I ordered two tacos. Excuse the shadows. I'm still learning how to work the monster baby.

 First was their special taco - pulled pork marinated in sriracha with blue cheese coleslaw. So fluffin' delicious.

 The other was a mahi mahi taco with guacamole, citrus slaw, and tropical salsa - very fresh and full of flavor.

After sevvveral bottles of champagne later, the boys wanted in on the glamour shots.

 Then the camera went back to us. Ha.

Coast is very very yummy...and typing this sober, you should actually believe me. :) Hope everyone had a glamorous weekend!
