Charleston is a special town for us! My husband went to college there and I began my first job out of college there! We love Nashville but Charleston has a part of our hearts too! We try to go back at least once a year for a visit. I wanted to share some of our favorite places.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Old Village in Mt. Pleasant is my favorite area to spend an afternoon. You may recognize it from scenes from The Notebook.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This quaint village is full of southern charm and gorgeous houses. We love grabbing a drink from Pitt Street Pharmacy’s<\/a> Soda Fountain. It’s like taking a step back in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, we stroll down to the Pitt Street Bridge. Pack a picnic lunch, a good book, fishing polls and just prepare for time to relax with beautiful, Charleston views. The Old Village is close to Sullivan’s Island and The Isle of Palm if you’d like to spend some time with your toes in the sand. Poe’s on Sullivan’s is the ultimate beachside spot for a burger! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can’t go to Charleston without seeing Rainbow Row and the Battery. These iconic homes are not only incredibly pretty but so historic as well. You can walk by them on your own or hop on a horse-drawn carriage ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
