First Visit to Charleston

We had heard a lot about this beautiful coastal town, and it was quite impressive in parts. We wanted to camp, but we were definitely disappointed to find little or no places for camping. Also, the state doesn't have nearly the state park system that Texas does. But the city had a lot to offer. We walked around an outdoor market where they had a lot to see and peruse. They even have a Teavana, which was one place Megan and I loved when we happened upon it in the Galleria in Houston. Folly beach was very nice, and we really enjoyed the couple of hours we spent there. We ate at a place called Blossom, and it turned out to be a very nice meal and conveniently located. The history of the city is what really strikes you. Despite Sherman's march and some natural disasters in its history, it still seems rife with antebellum architecture and southern charm. Overall, it was lovely place for an overnight getaway.

First Time in Charleston

Birthday Fun

Megan and I were able to enjoy a wonderful evening at a nice restaurant in town called Saluda's. We hadn't eaten out since our anniversary, so it was nice to finally have someone else do the cooking & cleaning.

It was such a nice evening that we ate out on the balcony of the restaurant, which is on the second story overlooking a nice area of town called "Five Points". Then, across the street our friend from Sunday school was competing in a "strong man" competition, so we got to watch him squat a car like seventeen times. No kidding. The guy looks quite intimidating, but he's so nice and friendly that you don't expect him to be one of the strongest men in South Carolina. Needless to say, the evening was great, and if you're ever in the area, I'd recommend the quail :)

Sorry, no photos (I forgot the camera).
