Dad's 70th Birthday Dinner: Charleston Edition 🎂

Same spirit as the Atlanta plan. While Mom and Dad are at Seabrook Island, we arrange a once-in-a-lifetime evening in Charleston. A private car picks them up, drives them into the city, they have an incredible dinner, and the car brings them home. Everything arranged, everything paid for, as a gift from the kids.

The goal here isn't just great food (though the food matters). It's the whole evening. The car ride in across the marshes at sunset. The setting when they arrive. The way the staff treats them. How relaxed and taken care of they feel from start to finish. We want them to walk away with a memory, not just a meal. Something they'd genuinely talk about for years and would never do for themselves.

Budget target: ~$1,000 (matching what we did for Mom)

Starting point: Seabrook Island to downtown Charleston is about 35-45 minutes by car, similar to the Kennesaw-to-Buckhead drive in the Atlanta plan. Close enough to make the evening easy, far e

Sourdough Starter Guide

Hey! You got one of our Vaughan Family Sourdough Starters! Let's get you baking bread in no-time.

In order to use the yeast culture, we need to first rehydrate and multiply the yeast to a usable amount. This process usually takes about a week, when you will have enough to bake with.

Important! We highly recommend that you weigh all ingredients when baking bread, as it will give you the most predictable results. We will provide volumes as estimates, but weigh if you can! When weighing flour, use a separate spoon to drop the flour into your measuring cup, as we estimate volumes for loose (rather than packed) flour.
