A Mini Travel Guide to Charleston, South Carolina

When Josh and I got married, a couple from our church gifted us with registration to a marriage conference. There were several locations to choose from, and we decided to make a trip out of it. We’d never been to Charleston and had heard great things! 

I reached out to a few people who I knew had lived in or been to the city and tried to come up with a list of things to see with the limited free time we’d have. 

Logistical things:

We flew into Charleston International Airport, stayed at the Charleston Marriott on Lockwood Drive and rented a car. The Marriott we stayed at was the one chosen for the retreat, but it happened to be super close to Downtown Charleston, Rainbow Row, King Street, etc, so that was nice. Fun fact: We had 5 different kinds of biscuits that weekend, including a breakfast biscuit from Chick Fil A at the airport lol.

DAY 1: Friday we flew in mid-day and picked up the rental car and drove to a place called the Workshop, which was on the way to our hotel. We ate ramen and talked for a while before driving to Rainbow Row.

We had a session that evening but still managed to squeeze in a trip to the Historical Charleston City Market to get Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit. We ended up going back over there on Saturday too.

DAY 2: Saturday we woke up early to eat breakfast at Toast, had sessions all morning and before the afternoon sessions, we ate lunch at the Oyster House and drove through Downtown Charleston, including a stop at the Waterfront. That night we had dinner at TBonz (it was okay) after taking too long to decide where to eat.

DAY 3: Sunday we ate a quick breakfast (I forget where) before having our last sessions in the morning. Then we had brunch at Poogan’s Porch.

We drove back near King Street, found a random parking garage and spent the afternoon walking around the Battery and King Street. (Honestly, we walked all around so I’m sure I’m not explaining this as well as possible.) Also I had heard of the giant, beautiful trees in Charleston so we found a a few squares throughout the day and then decided to drive to a park before we headed back to the airport. We ended up going to Hampton Park, and the trees were gorgeous!

We finished up at the park and headed to the airport to catch our flight home. Though it was a quick trip, we’ll definitely be back 🙂

  8. I think that a home foreclosure can have a major effect on the applicant’s life. Real estate foreclosures can have a Six to a decade negative influence on a client’s credit report. A new borrower who has applied for a home loan or just about any loans as an example, knows that a worse credit rating can be, the more tricky it is to get a decent loan. In addition, it may affect any borrower’s chance to find a quality place to lease or rent, if that turns into the alternative housing solution. Interesting blog post.

  12. Can I just say what a relief to search out someone who actually is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You undoubtedly know the way to convey an issue to mild and make it important. More folks must learn this and understand this aspect of the story. I cant imagine youre no more standard because you definitely have the gift.

  13. A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think that you should publish more on this issue, it may not be a taboo subject but usually people don’t speak about such topics. To the next! Kind regards!!

  14. Superb blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost
    on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free
    platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that
    I’m completely confused .. Any ideas? Many thanks!

  15. Hey just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

  16. Terrific work! This is the type of information that
    are meant to be shared across the net. Disgrace on the seek engines for no longer positioning this submit upper!

    Come on over and consult with my web site .
    Thank you =)

  17. Interesting blog post. Things i would like to bring about is that personal computer memory has to be purchased if the computer can no longer cope with that which you do by using it. One can add two good old ram boards with 1GB each, for instance, but not one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should look for the maker’s documentation for one’s PC to ensure what type of storage it can take.

  18. I have been browsing online more than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means discovered any fascinating article like yours. It?s lovely worth sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the web might be a lot more useful than ever before.

  19. Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against
    hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?

  22. I?m no longer certain where you are getting your info, but great topic. I must spend a while learning much more or figuring out more. Thank you for great information I was in search of this info for my mission.

  23. Wow that was odd. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear.
    Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyway, just
    wanted to say fantastic blog!
