Charleston Love

I am totally in love with Charleston! I sort of want to move here!?!

We arrived safe and sound in Charleston, where we met Erica and her husband, Josh, who immediately showed their Southern hospitality by welcoming us into their home.

Fresh fruit, yogurt, and pretzels were waiting for us when we arrived.

Frank, the English bulldog, also welcomed us to Charleston.

Love him!

Some goodies were also waiting for us on the bed in our room. What a fun surprise!

Yum!

Downtown Charleston was so incredibly charming! I loved it all! I could have easily wandered around all day!

During our walk, we stopped for a mini blogger photo shoot by the ocean.

The ladies: Kath, Erica, and me.

The couples…

Before dinner, we enjoyed a cocktail at a roof deck bar, which had live music and a really chill atmosphere. I sipped my Palmetto Amber beer and enjoyed the scene. It felt like vacation!

After drinks, we headed to dinner at the Southend Brewery.

The guys…

The gals…

The crayons and paper at the table really brought out the kid in these guys! Some of their drawings were ridiculous!

Mal and I shared the beer sampler, which had such a fun mix of brews. I especially loved the seasonal brew: a light, sweet-ish, ginger-flavored beer.

For dinner, Mal and I split the BBQ Chicken Pizza that was topped with onions, smoked gouda, mozzarella, and garnished with cilantro. After drinking a couple of beers, this pizza totally hit the spot!

After dinner, we popped into a candy store for a little dessert. I had a praline sample.

And then a chocolate-covered pretzel. Both were a delightful way to end the night.

I’m totally pooped after such a long day. Time for bed! Good night!
