Charleston Girls' Trip 2015 (The End of the Road)

 On Wednesday, it was time to hit the city of Charleston again for some sight seeing and shopping fun. We first made our way to Callie's Hot Little Biscuit which is divine by the way. You have to put it on your list of places to eat in Charleston. I had a shortcake biscuit and it melted in your mouth. I am not even kidding...it was that good.
The states pictures here are from Battery Park in the downtown area.

 This is the beautiful Calhoun Mansion that we had the pleasure of touring. The new owners of this mansion still live there part of the year and to say they have a lot of things they collect would be the understatement of the year. The interior of the home was used in The Notebook,  scenes of the inside of Allie's family home were filmed here. We were not allowed to take photos inside but I found the outside more appealing to me personally. 

 We decided to have an early dinner at a restaurant called The Grocery. I believe this picture is of the Wagyu Bistro Steak. It was hands down the best dish on the menu. All the food was delicious and i highly recommend checking it out if you are ever in the area.

 Thursday was another beach day so I decided to meet a high school friend, David, for breakfast. We had not seen each other since my freshman year of college. (Pardon the very close up selfie.) We met at this cute little restaurant on the Isle of Palms called the Sea Biscuit Cafe. It was two hours of laughing, catching up on each other's families, and just reminiscing about high school fun. It is so wonderful when you have a friend that you can go 20 years without seeing and pick up the conversation as if no time has passed. 

 After breakfast I returned to enjoy my last beach day with this view.

 On Friday, those of us who did not have to leave early, went back to King Street for some shopping, took a walking haunted tour of places in downtown Charleston, and ate at Tavern & Table one more time.  The pictures above and below this post are of the dungeon in the Old Exchange building.

 We also saw a haunted jail and cemetery. Don't worry, there were no ghost sightings on our tour.

The fab five; Erin, Melinda, me, Megan, & Sherry

This trip, with 11 of these precious friends, was the thing dreams are made of.  We laughed a lot, had a spontaneous dance party where we all learned to Whip and Nae- Nae, sang at the top of our lungs, shopped, enjoyed the beautiful gift of friendship God has given us, and ate really well. I am so thankful for a life filled with amazing women. Thank you to Megan, who is the best, for doing all the planing to make this trip possible. Thank you also to Charleston for letting us enjoy your beauty, we will definitely be back some day because a piece of my heart stayed there with you.
