Who’s ready for the weekend? (You can’t see me, but I promise I am typing with one hand and raising the other one in the air). Did I mention that it’s Labor Day weekend and some of us get an extra day off to make three whole days to relax, hang out with friends, travel or just kick back and cross off things from the old “to do” list? We are actually staying put or some might call it something more fancy, like a stay-cation. Just planning to hang out, get some projects done around the house, have an actual date night, watch some movies, hang out with a few pals, take the pups on longer walks and just enjoy time away from the office.

This Friday I thought I would share pictures from our last vacationto Charleston, SC. If you haven’t been to the south, you are really missing out on good food, great shopping and well, awesome sights. Even Paula Dean would agree. Let’s start off with Justine’s Kitchen.

Regardless of what you order from the menu, you won’t be disappointed. If you don’t have time to stand in line (that can wraps around the corner of the building no matter what time of the day) and have a sweet tooth craving, head next door to the sweet shop.

If your heart desires shopping, the market is the place to check out. You can find anything; I mean anything…

As you can see, I have a very loving and patient husband who likes to model hats. But if a hat for the safari is not your style, check out the handmade baskets.

After a walk through the market, just keep walking. Take you time and look around. Charleston has so much charm. The rod iron gates all over the city are amazing.

If you get a chance to visit  South Carolina, add Charleston to the list of cities to check out. It’s one of my favorite locations to vacation. Until next week, have a wonderful weekend.
