Visiting Charleston was the last day of our trip and we were resisting being worn out travelers with a little one. Maybe that is why the city did not quite sweep me away like Savannah did. It can nonetheless give you more of that historic, romantic vibe. (Also it was cold! So that was working against my experience too. And all the bar-goers for Mardi Gras were killing the vibe for me.) First, the best thing we experienced in the city – Glazed Gourmet Doughnuts. It is a little family tradition of ours to get doughnuts while on vacation. Something about coming home with a half dozen doughnuts for breakfast is really fun, indulgent, and vacation-y.
Mac & Murphy is a sweet little stationary shop downtown. We are tossing around the idea of ordering this print for our Valentine’s gift to one another.
There is a really rad shop for dudes called Indigo & Cotton. It was a did not buy anything, but could have bought everything situation.
In my research for our trip, so many people raved about Hominy Grill. Sadly, it was a flop for me. Did I order wrong? Was this a fluke?
That is it for our journey around the lowcountry. We are so glad to have gone and so glad to be back. The 21 hours in a tiny car was an accomplishment! And no gator attacks!
