A trip through Charleston

Filed under: General travel — Travel Queen @ 2:07 pm

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before…. but this IS one of my favourite places to visit!

If I could spend a weekend in Charleston, South Carolina each and every summer, I would! I first fell in love with this city during the summer of 1998 when my hubby and I took my parents for a journey through the South. I was a few months pregnant with our first child. It took 10 years to return again… My husband and I took the kids there this past summer and the two of us managed to escape to there for a romantic weekend away in the fall of 2008.

There are so many remarkable things to see, the character of Charleston is outrageous. Over 500 years of incredible history!! They’ve been through it all; wars, flooding and fires and they did more than just merely survive, they conquered and continued. You can walk the city each and every day and discover something new.

We didn’t have the best weather this past summer but I did manage to catch the beauty of this city during both trips. Please enjoy a trip to Charleston, South Carolina through my eyes. (You’ll get a sense of what I love about this city by the photos I took.)

I even love their official tourism website.

So have I encouraged you to take a little tour?! Personally…. I can’t wait to go back!
