To celebrate my mom’s upcoming 70th birthday—and because a girls’ trip with my mom and sister is always a good idea—my mom, sister, and I met for a lovely weekend in Charleston, South Carolina. On Friday evening in Charleston, we took a food tour, explored the Charleston City Market, spent time in all of the little shops near the Waterfront Park, and walked around the Battery before taking an Uber back to our hotel at the Charleston City Marina (Uber was so easy in Charleston—and a lifesaver a few times!).
My mom, Tracy, and I were up early on Saturday morning to walk down to Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit (a Charleston staple) for breakfast before a historic Charleston walking tour. We loved the tour. Our guide took us down the most beautiful side streets and alleyways that I had never seen in Charleston, historic neighborhoods were locals actually live. I also enjoyed being able just listen to our guide and follow her mindlessly all the while I could just take it all in and take pictures to my heart’s content. After our tour, we had a delicious lunch at Husk, explored the Charleston City Market again (always such interesting sights there), and then walked up King Street for some more shopping. We’d had our fill of walking around Charleston by late afternoon, so, after a break back at our hotel, we decided to drive out to Shem Creek for dinner at Vickery’s. The boardwalks, lowcountry marshland, and shrimp boats are beautiful in that area, and it’s fun to drive over the scenic Ravenel Bridge.
