Charleston

The town we always dreamed of visiting but never knew just how much we would fall in love with it. The history, architecture, food scene…………overall just the “southern charm',” (pun intended) of it all. Rachel and I have talked about making this trip for years and thought it would be the perfect birthday trip for her.

A few fun facts on Charleston. It is known as the Holy City because of its skyline full of steeples. No building can be taller than the highest church steeple. The Civil War began in Charleston at Fort Sumter. The first game of golf played in the United States took place in Charleston.

I hope you enjoy!!

Early morning and a layover at LaGuardia made for a long day of travel but we were still excited. Outfit.

Rainbow Row is one of the most iconic streets in Charleston. City ordinances are in place to keep their colors intact. Outfit.

We had to visit the Pineapple Fountain in Charleston Waterfront Park. The pineapple is a common symbol around Charleston and represents hospitality.

Highly recommend Republic Garden & Lounge for your nightlife. Live music/DJ’s, VIP tables, amazing drinks, and food right on King Street.

Henrys on the Market is a must. This is the oldest continuous restaurant in Charleston and all of South Carolina, established in 1932. Speakeasy bar, beautiful southern porch, rooftop deck, and more. Ethan would love this place.

If you know me you know I had to hit up one of the MANY ghost tours in Charleston. Drinks, history, ghost tours,……….what could go wrong.

With us being history buffs, we had to tour one of the many historic plantations in Charleston. Outfit.

Church & Union was one of our favorite food spots. Such a cool vibe. This posh New American dining destination is set in a former church.

Our waiter was incredible and made some amazing recommendations for our time in Charleston.

Absolutely in love with the cobblestone streets everywhere …. and Duh…..I had to handstand. Outfit.

Millers All Day serves up breakfast…..all day. But don’t sleep on their sandwiches. They were “bussin,” as the kids say.

You know we love our “Southern Charm” show. We had to visit Craig’s Sewing Down South store

Check out Beech for healthy fast food. Fruit, fish, rice, and vegetables. Their acai bowls were incredible.

The Boone Hall Plantation was incredible. Voted #1 plantation in the Charleston area. Founded in 1681. So much history. The tour is a must.
