| This year Omar got me some of my favorite cupcakes as part of our cake tradition for our anniversary. These are made by a church member. We ate them while on our drive there. |
Day 1 - We stayed at the Embassy Suites hotel right on the main road in Historic Charleston. It was actually a really nice place to stay. We were hungry when we got there and went to find a place to eat. One of the places closest to where we were staying was Justine's Kitchen. It was very small and packed with people. We didn't realize that we were eating at a well known restaraunt in Charleston that has been feautured on many television shows. Needless to say it was delicious! Omar got fried chicken, which I don't like, but must admit this was just plain ridiculously delicious. Omar loved it and wanted to go and eat there again but we never got a chance.

We had dinner at Husk one night. So yummy...
Other places we ate was Southend Brewery. We were told they have pretty good food from some people, but we were not impressed. One night's dinner was at McCrady's. That was the most expensive meal we have ever had in our life. $100/plate! But it was truly an experience. It was a 7 course meal using all sorts of techniques including stuff with liquid nitrogen. We figured for a once in a lifetime thing, why not? I took all sorts of pictures of it, but they are nowhere to be found!
Day 2 -
We spent a whole day at the Boone Hall Plantation. The admission where we got these tickets for free as well included a 30 minute tour of the house, garden tour, a tractor drive tour through all of the property, and there was a Black History self-guided tour too. It was really neat |

Day 3 -

| We went on a historical carriage ride. |
PATRIOTS POINT
I don't know where all these pictures went also. I had a TON of them. Patriot's was really neat and took hours to explore and go through. It is a place where you can board a Navy Ship and Submarine. It was a neat self-guided tour.

GHOST TOUR
We went on a ghost tour of course. This one took us to the old jail as part of it
Day 4 -
We went to the Charleston Aquarium. It was really small and took us maybe an hour to go through it. We did this on our way out of town. I am glad we had free tickets to it because I would have been upset if we had paid full price.
