Brian and I have lived in Charlotte for almost 15 years now and had still never been to Charleston. So right after Christmas, we decided to go with Brian's parents and take a family visit. It was a truly amazing visit and has us really wanting to go back for a romantic weekend :)
We were able to pack a lot of activity into just a few days. One of our favorite things was the carriage ride through town...we got to see all those wonderful homes you always see pictures of and hear all the great history behind them. And the food was
incredible of course. We were also able to spend almost an entire day visiting an old Charleston plantation. Even in the winter time it is still amazing to see. We took a nature tram ride, toured the gardens and even went through a huge maze of bushes. The boys also enjoyed the petting zoo, although one goat seemed to have it out for Dylan!!We had also heard great things about the Festival of Lights, surrounding a lake in the area. It was absolutely spectacular, just driving through the park looking at all the lights. But we were also able to park and roast marshmallows, take a train ride, and shop a little. It is definitely a must see and we are already anxious to go back again.
