On the first night in Charleston, we arrived at our first hotel and it was gross. The room smelled like smoke, the sheets looked nasty, and we checked out just about as quick as we checked in. Thankfully we got a full refund. So we did what we should have done in the first place and checked into the Hilton Garden Inn Charleston / Mt. Pleasant. Since we had already had a rough day, the concierge gave us a pretty great discount. I don't know why we didn't just book a Hilton hotel in the first place? (You can never go wrong with Hilton!)
That night, we went to eat at Marina Variety Store and Restaurant. It was a cute little restaurant by the marina and it even over looked the water and the boats. The food was great and the prices were decent.
After dinner we drove around for awhile before making our way back to the hotel. We absolutely loved the Charleston bridge. It is so pretty and I love the way it is all lit up at night.
The next day, we ate breakfast at Callie's Hot Little Biscuit. Ya'll...it was so good. Callie's is a little hole in the wall restaurant on King Street. After breakfast, we stopped across the road for donuts at Glazed. YUM!! They were heavenly.
After breakfast, we made our way to Rainbow Row. This was the cutest little strip of real estate I have ever seen. It would be perfect to live on the end and have a house overlooking the park and the ocean.
After Rainbow Row, we had to have a picture by the beautiful and historic Pineapple fountain. We took a break there for awhile and put our feet in the water and watched all the little kids swimming around.
Next on our agenda was to see the Angel Oak Tree. This tree was so cool! We stopped for lunch at the Angel Oak Restaurant just a few minutes away. The food was pretty good, but I really loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. It had a very unique southern charm to it.
Folly Island was next to see the light house and chill on the beach for a little while. It was so cute! If you know me, you know that I love graffiti and wall murals and all the things like that. Well on the walk to the light house, there was different things spray painted along the road and I just loved it. It made my heart smile.
We had dinner in Sullivan's Island at Mex1. OMG YA'LL...this was the best Mexican food I think I have ever had. We all need to gather together and open one of these in Alabama. Preferably in Moulton so I don't have to drive too far to get there. ;) But seriously, if you are ever in Charleston, you HAVE to go to Mex1. It was delicious!
Before we got on the ship, we ate a quick breakfast at Sunrise Bistro Xpress. This was another little hole in the wall restaurant. It had a total of about 4 tables inside the restaurant and about 5 more outside between the buildings. I think this restaurant mainly does take out orders, but the food was great and the service was really good.
We stopped by Starbucks real quick before calling our Uber and hopping on the ship. Stay tuned for more post about the cruise and the islands! :)
Two days was definitely not enough time to do everything we wanted to do. We mainly did the typical touristy things and made a list of things we wanted to do next time. But Charleston is definitely a great place for a girls weekend getaway!
If you have ever been to Charleston, what did you enjoy most?
