We’re officially in the dog days of summer — although, it doesn’t seem like an accurate description since even our dogs are over the heat. We’re constantly looking for ways to catch a cool break — be it iced coffee, ice cream, or even just plain ol’ ice cubes. But if we don’t have any frozen H2O around us, we look for ways to take our mind of the blazing heat of Julio. This weekend, we think we found some good distractions to help you through holy hotness that is Charleston.
