Charleston, South Carolina

A few weeks ago Sheraton Hotels had a contest where you could win a free night. Donald heard about it and entered us. I ended up winning a night at the Sheraton in Charleston, South Carolina. I had to use it this weekend so Jamie, Jenna and I headed down to Charleston Friday afternoon.

We hadn't been to Charleston so we really didn't know what to expect. It was much bigger than we realized and there was so much to see! We shopped at the Open Air market (of course) and walked along the battery.


We walked down "Museum Mile" and saw lots of wonderful historic homes.

We made sure we saw Rainbow Row...


We enjoyed looking at the private homes as well. One private home had a gate as we looked through the wrought iron gate, this is what we saw...
(I think that would be enough to keep away the trick-or-treaters!)

We ate seafood (well, I did) and we just enjoyed the city immensely. It's definitely a place I would like to return to. Thank you Sheraton for our free night and thank you Donald for "making" me go. Next time we're planning it better, seeing more and making sure Sarah can go with us as well!
