Ahh, Charleston!

My aunt and uncle are in town from Boston and my aunt is in town from Florida so family has been abundant this week. They are staying the entire week and each night we have dinners planned while sitting around the fire enjoying each others company. It's so nice to catch up and talk about past, present and future. 

I'm excited they are in town visiting but I am more excited about Thursday. I took the day off work and we're all going to beautiful Charleston to explore the city and of course do a little shopping.

We have plans to walk the battery and see the beautiful homes that overlook it. We're also going to go to visit City Market which has lots of different booths where you can find all sorts of southern treasurers ranging from soaps to monogrammed decor. It's a southern woman's dream!

A must do is going to be King Street, my favorite! Adorned with shops as far as the eye can see.

We'll be eating lunch in Charleston and I'm a foodie so this is a hard choice but everyone is looking at me for options. I have my choice of restaurants in Charleston, The Crab House or California Dreaming, but on the other hand I'd love to try something new and I've heard wonderful things about Virginia's on King. They have true southern cooking and I think that my aunt and uncle from Boston would love to taste it. Shrimp & Grits, need I say more?

Any restaurant suggestions for Charleston that I need to know about? Do share!

I'm beyond ready to have the day off work and to spend the entire day with my family in one of the most beautiful cities!
