Bill and I enjoyed a nice get-away weekend in Charleston, South Carolina, this past weekend. We were looking forward to a little time away and we also had an ulterior motive. We wanted to look for housing for a get-together with some friends this fall.
On Friday, we took off mid-morning. It is about a 5 1/2 or 6 hour drive from Atlanta, so we could take our time and enjoy the trip and still get there before dark. We stayed at a hotel in Mt. Pleasant, which is just across the bridge from Charleston. The bridge itself is worth a trip to see! It is what we call a "pretty bridge," because of the suspension cables that make the most beautiful silouette. There is a similar bridge in Jacksonville, FL.
Saturday and Sunday we just rode around, talking to real estate people and looking at possible places to stay. We wanted to get a feel for the area so we could decide what was the best area for a vacation week. We finally decided on Isle of Palms. Our favorite house is right on the beach and is beautiful. Hopefully, we will be able to work it out to get that one. Even so, we now know what we want and have a couple of good agents that can help us if we need it.
Other than that, we didn't do much. We enjoyed eating out, which we don't do too often, and relaxing in the hotel room was nice, too. We watched the SuperBowl - or Bill watched and I read.
Monday we headed back home, getting in by mid-afternoon. We didn't do any sightseeing, other than driving around to see what was there. But, we did pick up a ton of brochures to study between now and October. I loved our drive through downtown Charleston on Sunday afternoon. It is so cozy and historical. We are so excited to get the chance to visit the places we saw.
So - come October - look out Charleston, here we come!!!!

Lodging houses or hotels also offer affordable weekly rates to stay in Charleston WV, and that fact makes hotel stays and weekends in Charleston available for everyone. This place has both elegance and affordability at the same time. The service and crew of the lodges are also customer-oriented and try their best to blend in with the requests of customers. Aside from that, there are lots of extra amenities available in the rooms such as coffee makers and other home appliances, televisions with cables, and wireless internet connection.
