Charleston may be one of my favorite weekend get a ways. Just 4 short hours (or about 6 jammin' cds... yes I still rock the cds) from Raleigh, if I am packed and ready to go when I get off work at 2 on Friday, to be sure a cocktail is waiting for me when I arrive at 6!I've been weekending in Charleston for several years now. I've got a solid group of friends who have never not shown me an awesome time. There is just something about that city that makes you not want to leave on Sunday... Maybe because Sunday Funday is always in full force. Even if just sitting on a porch, swinging and sipping vino, holding new born babies- it's just better when doing it there.
The streets are cobblestone. The beaches are beautiful. The Bars are filled to the rim. The rickshaws are lining the street. The resaturates are probably some of the best in the entire United States of America (sounds a lot more aggressive when you spell it out, doesn't it!?).
It is a place where you can relax, party, explore, people watch, dance, lounge, walk, bike, photograph all in the same day. It is a place that draws you in. It is a place where Southern hospitality is proven to still exist. It is a place that has been here since 1670. It is a place where church steeples dominate the skyline. It is a place that stretches the mid vowel unlike any other locale in the South. It is a place that can say they had the first Southern Baptist Church in existence. It is a place that has numerous fashion, food, and culture festivals throughout the year. It is a place of inspiration.
