Allison and I embarked on our first road trip together over the weekend...to Charleston, SC. It is kind of fitting that we took this trip over Memorial Day weekend, as we got our wanderlust from our Papaw Gib. Maybe our trip honored his memory just a little bit. The trip was pretty impromtu...with only planning a few days in advanced. We drove part of the way Friday night, staying in Knoxville, TN for the night, and arrived to our destination around 2 the next day. We had a late lunch first at my favorite restaurant, Sticky Fingers. After our lunch, we walked around downtown. We made a trip through the market, stopped by the famous pineapple fountain and did some shopping on King Street. We opted to head out to the beach as the evening approached and traveled over to the beaches at Isle of Palm at dusk.
Saturday we got up and went back downtown for a walk along the battery and over to Rainbow Row. Since we thought the weather might not be as favorable in the afternoon that day due to Tropical Storm Beryl, we decided to check out a plantation. We went on a tour of Boone Hall & Plantation. The weather turned out to be fairly nice all day with the exception of some crazy wind. We drove over to Sullivan's Island and then back up to the outlets for a little shopping. We ended our time in Charleston with a dinner at Sticky Fingers in Mt. Pleasant. On Sunday we hit the road early and managed to make it through the car packed interstates and home by 9.
Here is a link to my
Google+ album of all my pictures from the trip.
