Sneaking Around Charleston...
The city of Charleston SC wasn't quit ready for the four of us! Myself and three friends made the drive from Raleigh, NC to Charleston for a girls weekend! We left behind our husbands and children for the weekend, and made our way south. I was apprehensive about leaving my toddler for the weekend... something I had never done... But I knew she would be happy and safe with her daddy. (Who, by the way, is awesome for encouraging this much need trip away!!)
As we rolled into this city, I just knew we were going to have a great weekend! We got to our hotel, The King Charles Inn, in the historic downtown area, we were given a key and our bags were brought to our room by a very informative bell hop. We were greeted in our room by a bottle of white wine and a yummy cheese plate. We promptly made our selves at home and toasted to a great weekend!
I will just post a few of the highlights from our trip before I get down to my favorite part of the trip... The architecture!
We ate out for every meal, and were able to get some amazing food! We went to Bubba Gumps for shrimp, Tommy Condons for drinks and awesome entertainment. We also made our way to the Open Air market. We tried to capture some pictures of ghosts on our tour of some the the oldest cemeteries, and went on a horse and carriage tour of historic Charleston.

Just one of many fantastic views from the piazzas |
I took this picture on a day that was very windy this was the only house I could get with a great view of the flag too |
A stained glass window in a catholic church |
This looks like it should be hanging in a beautiful dining room somewhere. Not in Charleston... this one is outside, lighting a beautiful front porch. |
"Outside the garden gate"... where I took most of my pictures... |
Also inside one of Charlestons many beautiful churches |
