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.
