11th wedding anniversary...Charleston fun...

Jeff and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary on Friday, November 13 and headed to Charleston where we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary! (We talked about how fun it would be to relive our wedding reception...a fun night!)


Jeff had to do some work in Charleston so he dropped my off at the Town Center Shopping area in Mt. Pleasant while he did his work. I got to shop, have lunch, and see the new Bond movie before Jeff picked me back up at 3 pm to head downtown.


Loved eating at Zoe's Kitchen....used to eat it a lot in Charlotte and ole' Bond. Let's see...British men in well tailored clothes getting things done...yep I loved it!


We stayed at the Ansonborough Inn and loved it! Our room had a separate sitting area with a big couch, mini fridge, etc. The Inn had a bottle of Champagne and note ready in our room when we arrived...so thoughtful! We really enjoyed staying here and would stay here again!


We then got a drink at the Market Pavilion rooftop bar...which had a great view and loved our drinks. Okay my drink and Jeff's beer! ;)



This is my face of excitement of being in a city! We went back to our room and changed clothes for the night and went to the place I read about recently...The Gin Joint...I really enjoyed having a drink made by giving the bartender two adjectives! I would visit again!



Picture above is from The Gin Joint and pic below was out next stop at High Cotton. High Cotton had a jazz band so we sat and listened to it at the bar before having dinner there. We ate here on our first wedding anniversary too!

When they sat us...we had the perfect table at the window so we could people watch, they also had a hand written note on our table and free champagne for us!


Afterwards we headed back (loved that we walked everywhere!) and hit the hay. We laughed that we are getting old and once we ate dinner...we were done for the night!

The next morning...Jeff had to do a little work so we went to the battery for a quick view and snap some pics before hitting the road.




We both agreed that we wished we had more time...so much to do in Charleston and so little time! It was so nice to get away for a night and go somewhere out of town. A huge thank you to our friends for taking care of Norah and our dogs while we were gone...she had a blast!

On a sad note...we heard about Paris while out and watched the news. Such tragedy. Also reminded of the bombing in Beirut days earlier. So much is happening in our world...prayers for everyone.
