So after much vi sting (four locations) we headed away, just the two of us, for a short vacation before Barry had to return to Abu Dhabi. He could only take off two weeks total. So we went to Charleston, SC, a favorite location for us.
We went on two different carriage rides. It was very cold and we were quite thankful for the wool blankets!! Our second rife we were the only tow on the buggy!! It was quite romantic.
The Church Street Inn, our "home" in Charleston for one week!
We did so much walking and enjoying the historic area of Charleston
even if we were freezing!!
"Dueling Alley" at night.
We went on a "ghosts and legends" walking tour of Charleston one evening,
it was quite fun!!
The grave stones along the walls are stones that have fallen during one of the cities several earthquakes or fires and they weren't sure were they "belonged" so they flank the graveyard walls. Every graveyard in town had many!
There were so many cool stones, this was a favorite.
Barry hanging out near the Spanish moss!
I am wearing 2 shirts, a sweater, coat, gloves, and a scarf!!
The middle east has thinned my blood!!!
Chess anyone? This was a family; father, mother, and daughter.
The graveyard at the Unitarian Church was a favorite. Because they everything
is meant to stay in it's natural state no maintenance or yard care has been done in this
graveyard since the 1700's!!
So after, four nights Barry left and headed back to Charlotte to catch a flight home back to ABu Dhabi. My mom then came to Charleston and finished our week there with me. We walked more, took a carriage ride and had some more great meals. It was a great week!!!
I got to spend a day in Aiken, SC with my mom before heading back to Charlotte.
