Vacation Part 2: Charleston, SC

We had a day between my family vacation ending, and Kyle's sides starting and we decided to spend it in Charleston! It was a jam-packed 24 hours spent in an incredible city!

We flew in about 1pm on Friday, July 24th. We decided to take our first Uber ride and it worked out perfectly and cost a lot less than a taxi would have. We can't wait for this service to take off in Kansas City!

We had such an adorable Bed & Breakfast that had the perfect location. We stayed at King's Courtyard Inn. A lot of B&B's were already full when we booked, but we were very happy with our decision. It had a great location and was in easy walking distance to pretty much everything. We did a ton of walking (and eating).

We had a view of the courtyard.





We decided to spend the afternoon exploring the city. We walked through neighborhoods, and saw all the major sights!


This one was my favorite!
 Walking along the Battery.


Beautiful park with gorgeous views!


Brunch on Saturday at Poogan's Porch


Church Street


Cobblestone Streets!


Super cute alley way


We cleaned up and changed clothes for dinner at Toast (we know it's typically a breakfast place!).  We headed out for a beautiful walk after.










We grabbed drinks at a bar on top of the Vendue Hotel (Inn?) and had an awesome time. It absolutely poured so it was a great place to get out of the rain and see the city.

This place. OHMYWORD. It was a dessert only bar. Dessert? YES PLEASE! We split some kind of chocolate cake and a yummy hard apple cider drink.


Saturday morning we had brunch at Poogan's Porch and decided to take a horse-drawn-carriage tour.


Our tour guide was very knowledgable!











View of our hotel's street!


Champs for our 2nd Anniversary (two months late!)









I reallllllyyy wanted this coffee table book!


 We had an awesome 24 hours filled with yummy southern food and lots of sights! This is definitely a favorite city of mine and I would love to come back.

Stacey and Alex picked us up in the rental car Saturday afternoon and we headed to Hominy Grill for lunch before our trekk to Hilton Head.




We loved Charleston!
