So I decided that in 2016 I wanted to take small, but wonderful trips, in the US as my vacation. Don't get me wrong - my time in Europe was incredible...stressful...but amazing. So this year, I have set a calendar to have some fun right here at home.
The first of these wonderful weekends was Charleston. Now, not really sure why I have not spent more weekends in Charleston, as it is easier to get to than the beach, wonderful sights, and amazing food.
So a quick look at my weekend in Charleston!
We stayed at the Charleston Place - and I must say - with the exception of the t.i.n.y. parking spaces in the parking deck - it was amazing. Very relaxing and so close to everything!
When we arrived on Friday, we took a walk around town around sunset to just wander through the streets and take in the sights of the history.
When we got back to our room... the most amazing homemade pimento cheese - ever! Such a great treat waiting for us... and of course the fruit, crackers and wine didn't hurt either!
If you have been around me a long time, you know I have an issue with paint. For years in my condo, I searched for the color to paint my walls - and never did. Once I moved into my townhome, I was determined to paint... and thought I had settled on a color... until I walked in my room and loved the wall color. Yes, I was the crazy lady testing the concierge by asking the color of the paint. And he knew it!
Dinner the first night was at the Charleston Grill and it certainly didn't disappoint. So yummy!
Saturday was spent walking around again and then taking a carriage tour of the city - which I highly recommend!
Wait... concert..what?? Come on.... I didn't go anywhere unless there was a concert involved. You knew better. Insert Garth Brooks on Saturday night... and Sunday night!
For the record... this should not be a ticket. Just saying!
And night two...
A great weekend in Charleston... with a little Garth and Trisha mixed in!
