places to go | charleston

…a few weeks later and I’m finally sharing photos from our trip to Charleston to celebrate our second anniversary. The city was small and easy to get around, laid back and comfortable. We arrived late Saturday morning and from there we started 72 hours of unbelievable meals, lazy evenings and leisurely bike rides along the edge of the peninsula. A few of my favorites –

– Wildflour for Sticky Bun Sundays. We washed them down with the freshest pulpiest orange juice.
– The incredible noodles bowls and breakfast sandwiches we ate at Two Boroughs Larder.
– The afternoon harbor cruise on the Carolina Belle. We heard stories about the city’s rich history and got a little sunburned.
– We rented bikes and rode around for hours exploring south of Broad and the Battery. We stopped for frozen yogurt and fresh squeezed lemonade.
– We stayed in a lovely boutique hotel on the corner of King and Calhoun called the Francis Marion Hotel.
– Bin 152, after a few hours of sightseeing, we stopped in this little wine and cheese bar. It was beautifully decorated with antiques and we stuffed ourselves with all the wine, cheese, bread and meat we could eat.
– Bowen’s Island Restaurant for fried fish, iced teas and sunsets over the marsh.
