Charleston

 This southern city on the coast of South Carolina is full of charm and history. It boasts of food, sun, churches, homes, and activities. I was fortunate that in my pre-kid days that my friend, Michelle, lived in Charleston while I was living in Raleigh. I was able to visit her on quite a few occasions. We also had my friend Kara's bachelorette party there. It is on my bucket list to the do the Bridge Run. She put together a list of some of her favorite things, and I added in mine as well.
