Charelston and the Citidel is the setting of some of my all time favorite books. I have had a love affair with this place all of my adult life but this is the first time I’ve had a chance to go. I LOVE it here. It is so beautiful and charming and rich with history. The shopping and food is incredible, the architecture (like Pittsburgh) makes me keep my camera in my hand at all times.I wish I had WAY more time here.

It rained for our entire drive to Charelston which sucked but then it cleared up once we got here. We did the lame tourist thing and ate at Bubba Gump’s but the food was REALLY good. Then we went to the waterfront and played on the peer, watched the dolphins, enjoyed the AWESOME weather (it was probably only 70) and enjoyed the sunset. It was really relaxing and enjoyable which was perfect because I hit some sort of “get me away from everyone, my family is draining me dry!” bad mood all day. So it snapped me out of it. The boys loved looking for and catching little tiny crabs and Addy just loved running around and jumping.

This morning we’re going to go do a tiny bit of window shopping and then grab some ice cream and head off for our next destination - FLORIDA! I can not wait to get there!!!!!!!!!! So today will be all driving, all day, and then settling in.
