May 25-26 (Day 3-4) Charleston, SC



After a couple days of living the tough outdoor life in tents, we were ready to take it easy and head to the beach. What better place to go than Charleston, SC to visit our good boardin' friend Alec Stackhouse.

We got up early and knew we needed a hardy breakfast to last us the long 7 hour voyage. We spotted Tudor's Biscuit World a few days ago near our campsite and knew we needed to stop there before we left.



Each biscuit weighed about 1 kg, and they were only $5.95 for 5 of them. Nate was a huge fan! We could only bear to eat about half of them and save the rest for Alec as a housewarming gift. No suprise, he was just as excited to eat them as we were. After taking a bite, he threw the rest into the yard so the wildlife could enjoy the delicious biscuits as well.



Once we arrived at Alec's place, we were pleasantly suprised to see all his nice shit. He and 4 of his friends live on a huge plantation home filled with stuff for me and nate to break.



Around the back there was even more nice shit, including a big dock, a boat, and some old trees.



I felt obliged to take some more artsy photos.



So then we unpacked our car, said hi to all the roommates, and stopped by Alec's sweet retail job. We found out that if Alec sells 10 pairs of Costa Del Mar sunglasses, he gets a free pair! So, we spent the next 5 minutes helping Alec sell some pairs to customers, unfortunately to no avail. However, all of Alec's co-workers were super friendly - they even were nice enough to escort us out of the building!

Anyway, after that we had some time to burn, so we went to the beach to work on our awesome farmer's tans.



Unfortunately, my awesome "body and scalp" sunscreen was absolutely terrible, and now my entire back and chest is bloches of pale and burnt skin. Yum!

After that we went back to Alec's place to do some speed beers and hang out with the Lewisburg crew of Alec, Jeff, Drew, Molly (Nate's crush) and Jamie.







Day 2 was pretty similar to day 1, we spent another day on the beach, and then went back to Alec's place for some more beers.



At this point things got a little loose. Everyone decided it would be a good idea to draw tattoos on each other. Drew's came out really good. He should get a part time job on the beach as a henna tattoo artist.



Nate was going for it all night long.



Then things got even weirder



I even got in on some of the action myself



When it was all said and done, we had a great time, made a few new friends, I left with a sweet tan and Nate left with a new crush. Off to Hotlanta!
