So Bryan and I went on a mini vacation this past weekend to Charleston, S.C. We had a blast seeing all of the historical buildings downtown and relaxing on the beach with our friends Drew and Elizabeth.
Here was the agenda...Pictures to come!
Wednesday - We headed out wednesday afternoon and enjoyed a dinner at Sticky Fingers once we arrived in Charleston! Delicious...S.C. BBQ! Yum! We checked into our plush hotel downtown and walked around...Bryan surprised me with a 2-story suite at the Doubletree! Oh the luxury of Hilton Honors Points!
Thursday - So we began our day in the old Colonial Market....really cool open air market where they used to buy and sell goods but it now has any textile that you could hope for! I really wanted a sweetgrass basket except for the fact that a bowl that is 3" in diameter is $80...who can afford that?!?!? We grabbed some coffee and checked out of our hotel to head to the beach. Charleston and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful! The sun is so hott hott hott that we couldn't resist jumping in the waves at the beach!
Friday - Drew and Elizabeth joined us late thursday night...Friday morning we hit the beach right away. Little did we know that the sun was so hot! It has been a mild summer in Tennessee and it was so humid! We spent the better part of the day boogie boarding in the waves and playing in the water...Bryan made a replica of a ski resort in the shape of a sand castle! What fun! On to dinner at Los Arcos...a great Mexican restaurant and then walked around downtown for a while!
Saturday - Again...another gorgeous day at the beach...a little crispy from Friday so we put up the umbrellas! The waves were awesome and it was windy enough to keep it cool! We ended up going to dinner at TBonz...a Charleston special and then went to see a movie!
Sunday - The drive home always seems to take forever.... it is only 5 1/2 hours but it seemed to take the whole day! Now we are home and finishing up laundry... a great vacation and definately not ready to be back in the real world!
