Mini Vacation-Day TwO

We left KI early this morning and drove back in to Charleston for a private tour of the town. We started out at this bed & breakfast that overlooked the water. It was so pretty & the food was delicious!

We spent the next couple of hours driving/walking around the city admiring all that Charleston has to offer.
This was the First Baptist Church...literally the first one in the U.S.
One of our last stops was this beautiful backyard garden. The man that owned it was a retired radiologist & has done the upkeep of the garden for years. It was so beautiful.
We were so tired & very hungry when we made it back to KI, so we decided to try this little pizzeria that was in the shopping area of the island.
I thought it was so funny that they did not serve sweet tea...it's the south, come on! So, they brought John T. a little pourer thing with sugar syrup that he poured in his "iced tea". Ha!
The little shopping area on KI is called Freshfields Village. It was the neatest little place filled with unique shops, restaurants, and an amazing grocery store! This was the drug store on the island, and it was so cute...very old-fashioned!
After supper & some shopping, we headed back to our little villa. John T. & I took a walk on the beach, while my mom & dad relaxed, and then they joined us later.
I thought this was such an awesome picture!
We had a fabulous Saturday in SC!
