Anniversary Trip to Charleston

How is it May already?

In March we celebrated our 3rd anniversary by taking a little trip to Charleston, SC.  Despite the weather being a little cool, we had a wonderful time to get away and enjoy ourselves.  It is hard to believe sometimes that it has already been three years and equally at the same time hard to believe it hasn't been longer.  I'm so thankful for Casey and all of our adventures together through everyday life and special times like these.

 Here are some pictures from our trip:

This is a view of the bridge that we crossed over each time we went into Charleston.
 We stayed in Mt. Pleasant and headed across the bridge to Charleston when we arrived.  We enjoyed visiting the waterfront and seeing the dolphins playing in the water.


A view of the waterfront...
Just a colorful house I liked...
I loved seeing all of the old churches!
Of course we got a chance for Casey to play golf :) 


 I also love old churches, houses, and architecture in these old cities.  It was starting to get dark so I didn't get too many pictures, but managed to snag a few.





  The next afternoon the sky cleared up enough for us (read Casey) to go play some golf. We enjoyed the time walking the course and seeing the Spanish moss.  There was even a warning sign about alligators!


 Later that night we went to Hyman's Seafood for supper, which Casey said was some of the best seafood he'd ever eaten.  I don't do seafood, so I'll take his word for it. :)
 
The weather was a bit chilly and cool, especially our first night and the whole next day.  We found this little spot outside of Charleston where you could see the city across the water. It used to be a bridge from Mt. Pleasant to Sullivan Island, but now it's a walking area lined with palmettos. We went back to this area the second day with much nicer weather and enjoyed walking around and taking pictures.  It was a nice little quiet area and we enjoyed watching the birds and boats.  We also enjoyed the views of Charleston.



On our final morning we also visited Market Street. We enjoyed walking through and seeing the baskets and other crafts from the area.  We even bought a couple of gifts and a painting for us!


The only photo of us (somehow it always happens that way).
We really enjoyed our trip and were thankful for the time away for a couple of days.  Hooray for three years!
