Last month my doctor sister found out where she is going for her residency and I could not be more excited! I have been told by multiple people that I would love it
(from what I've heard who wouldn't?). I don't have any set plans to visit YET but I am hoping to get there this summer. I know there are a lot of bloggers in the area so I would love to hear your suggestions on places to shop, where to eat, things to see. I will pass on recommendations to my sister who will be moving to Charleston in June.
This year's
Coastal Living Showhouse will be on Daniel Island, near Charleston. The showhouse will open to the public at the end of June and tours will take place through October.
Congratulations to your sister!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Charleston, but it's definitely on my list (top 5) of places to visit!
Thank you! She is thrilled and I am excited to visit!
DeleteI might sell my dog to get stationed in Charleston. We've tried his entire career to get there! Now we're moving to Cape Cod, which is as close as we could get this year. I'm in love with that city.
ReplyDeleteKate-
ReplyDeleteI had no idea your sister was moving to Charleston! Can I come? I went two years ago over St. Patrick's Day and I fell in love! "Husk" is my favorite restaurant of all time. OMG I am so jealous of her!
I have only been once, but Charleston is my FAVORITE city! I keep hoping my husband's company will open an office down there. Lucky girl! SOOO much shopping and dining to chose from !
ReplyDeleteCharleston is a fave place of mine! Here are some of my fave places to go while there!http://twoprepsinapod.blogspot.com/p/travel.html?m=1
ReplyDeleteCharleston is on my list of places that I must visit! I can't wait for you to visit and share lots of pictures! xx
ReplyDeleteMy favorite city in the US. You are going to love visiting!
ReplyDeleteI love Charleston!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so some of my "must do" list:
1. Visit Boone Hall Plantation. It has that super iconic spanish moss draped, oak lined driveway. It's where they shot scenes from the Notebook, and where Blake Lively just got married. It's beautiful, but make sure to bring bug spray--there were literal clouds of giant mosquitoes!
2. Take a carriage tour. They're all over the city, and it's a good way to learn some cool history while seeing some of the best houses.
3. Take a few house tours. We did Calhoun Mansion, and it was really cool.
4. EAT! Since most of our Charleston trips were day trips while staying in Myrtle Beach, I haven't eaten a ton in Charleston. But, I love Pearl's Oyster Bar--sit at the bar and order a ton of appetizers. SO GOOD! I've also heard great things about Poogan's Porch.
I'm going to be one of "those" people and pimp my blog. But, really, I just want to show you some of my pictures from when I went!
