Weekend In Charleston, SC

It has been a year since I visited Charleston, SC and never posted about it. That's how forgetful one can get with ~~age~~ time. Charleston is a perfect weekend getaway. We flew into the city on Friday morning and flew back on Sunday afternoon. It was ample time to explore the city and still have time to unwind and relax.

We rented the car from the airport and made our way to The Inn At I'on, which was about 15 minutes outside the historic district. We were glad that we decided to stay out of downtown as it allowed us to explore more of the city.

Two of the favorite places were the City Market and the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. City Market has been around for hundreds of years, starting as a food market but now sells all sorts of souvenirs and local wares. The area markets are a great and free spot for people watching. Magnolia Plantation and Gardens was founded in 1676 by the Drayton family, Magnolia Plantation has survived the centuries and witnessed the history unfold before it from the American Revolution through the Civil War and beyond.

We also drove to down to the Kiawah Island. If you are make a trip down there, you must check out the The Sanctuary Resort. It was a sight for the sore eyes.

I still cannot believe this was almost a year back. Once I am done visiting all 50 states of U.S. I will definitely be making a trip back! :)
