Exploring the South.

I simply love quaint little southern towns. Thus the reason I live in one! But for some time now I've been wanting to visit Charleston, SC. It's only a 3 hour drive and people just rave about it. They say it's just like Wilmington but 10x better! So when we found out that one of our good friends, Billy, was going to be working out of Charleston for a 2 week stint (and that we could stay in his hotel room for free!), we jumped on the opportunity for a little getaway to continue our exploration of the South.

Friday evening after work, Joe & myself & Cortney (Billy's girlfriend) all got on the road. Once we arrived in Charleston, it was on! We wasted no time and immediately hopped the trolley to downtown. We found a great local band and had an absolute blast the whole evening. Saturday we took the tourist approach and just walked EVERYWHERE. We found cute little shops, the most darling restaurants, and a huge market where I purchased a Charleston-style wide-brimmed hat for the beach. The fun didn't stop until Sunday evening. Charleston was everything and more! The feel. The houses. The markets. The people. It was magical.
