Our annual girls trip to New York City is about so much more than the trite description implies. It is about reunion, it is about discovery, and it is all about friendship.
It is about tradition

Every year we pick our pumpkins at Great Country Farms in Bluemont, VA. The wagon ride to the pick-your-own field along with the stunning view makes this a favorite spot.
The table is set, costumes are on
Family arrives, the party has begun!

We are Fristers because years ago on a similar such trip a waiter asked if we were friends or sisters, we are both. Destination, Charleston, South Carolina. Purpose, celebrate Ginnie’s 40th birthday.
The Ordinary is a Southern seafood hall and oyster bar located in an old bank. We were greeted with a bottle of champagne, courtesy of Ginnie’s thoughtful cousin, and continued with excellent cocktails and an amazing, funky bottle of red. The sea urchin on toast was our favorite.
We’ve been here before. In fact every summer for the past eight years. Returning to the same place every year creates traditions, favorites and must-dos.
My must-do is a surrey bike ride along the beach, on the boardwalk, winding our way through nearby neighborhoods and dreaming of our future beach home.
