Happy 4th of July friends! Hubby and I just returned from a weekend getaway to South Carolina. We stayed in Myrtle Beach, did some saltwater fishing and spent a wonderful day in Charleston (get ready for lots of pics).
Here is the view from our balcony:
Myrtle Beach was a little insane with the Holiday weekend. It reminded me of Spring Break but with more families mixed in. It was more of a tourist destination than we had expected.
We adored the sweet Southern accents of the friendly South Carolinians and I secretly loved that when you ordered iced tea they assumed sweet tea. Every menu that we had during our stay included shrimp and grits - gotta love it.
On Sunday we escaped the beach madness and spent the day in Charleston. On the way there we stopped at a roadside stand and met a gentle soul, Laverne, who weaves Sweet Grass baskets - passed down from her grandmother - I had to have one!
Also on the way we stopped in Georgetown and McClennanville and Hubby endured my historical and southern house stalking...
I could have stayed a week in Charleston! So rich in history and amazing architecture. Here are a few of my favorite shots from around historic downtown:
I'm not a great photographer - I don't have an expensive camera or special lenses and I don't edit my photos. I hope that even from these mediocre photos you can tell how amazing Charleston is - add it to your Bucket List - really.

I love the steps with the ivy in between. Lucky you the beach!
I love Charleston with their "single"homes (one room wide, facing the street) and verandas and inner court gardens. Glad you had a great vacation.
(If next year, you want to go to Va Beach and Williamsburg, stop by to visit me)
I would have loved going with you. Those homes are amazing.
