Charleston, SC

We recently went to Charleston, SC for a girls' weekend to the beach! If you're from Charlotte, you're accustomed to making this short trip down to the coast.. but you may not  know about these intimate spots around town. Keep reading for more details!

Feeling French? Try Gaulet and Maliclet!
This trendy little cafe can be easy to miss, however you must stop by. It's quite affordable!  Located in the King St area, it's in the perfect location if you want to grab a quick bite after shopping all day. The soup du jour was curry potatoe (so good!!!). They also offer lunch plates, appetizers, and desserts! 

Looking for southern hospitality? Go to Magnolia's!
Star booked the reservation a week in advance, however, we were only able to get a 9:30 table. This place is quite popular! Located in uptown Charleston, this restaurant has a charming and sophisticated feel. They have a diverse menu, and a caring staff. Make your reservation and taste their savory salmon!











Charleston is full of history and jazz. After dinner, we headed out for a night on the town to a place called Charleston Grill, to hear some good 'ol soul and jazz funk...only to find out that we had just missed the beat. This spot is hidden away, so this is definitely a place we'd like to visit next time....and there will definitely be a next time soon !! 

Need a quiet beach for relaxation? Isle of Palms is best for you!
Charleston is on the coast, so it has sunny beaches for miles.... however, not all beaches are the same! Try Isle of Palms. We really enjoyed the sun and the waves, not to mention, the pets!! This was perfect because Star brought her "baby"...  her dog "King".

Over all, Charleston is a wonderful, must see, southern vacation. You have rich history of the slave trade, Civil Wars, any Presidents, churches and cuisine. So go on! What are you waiting for?? Book your vacation now!!
