CHARLESTON...our new favorite city!

To take you back to the start...I became friends with Tara Clayton at Southern around the year 2009? That is just a rough guess, but we met through mutual friends and began spending reunion weekends together in Jackson and she would often stay at my apartment when she would be back in Hattiesburg, maybe because she had no where else to stay, but I tell myself it was because she loved me! After she moved to Meridian, we tried our best to stay in touch, but that often took place over the phone! We would chat about random things, but it always ended deciphering our relationships! She began seeing Dan and she knew from the first moment that he was the one. She would always share Dan's worldly advice with me....and I would "always" take it to heart!

As wedding bells began ringing, the destination of Charleston was selected. See, Dan has family across the globe and although Tara's family is predominantly in Meridian....majority of guests would be traveling regardless. I began to talk out the details with Ami and Laine. After many thoughts, calculations and googling we decided, Charleston was a must! We booked our tickets, Laine planned the tours and off we went!

Here we are on the plane we had chartered to east coast.........dream on!
Ok, so before you think I am crazy, let me introduce you to Ami's classroom companion, Flat Stanley a.k.a. Stan my Flat Man! He rode with me and we bonded on our connecting flight from Charlotte to Charleston!
Laine and me after our lunch at Tommy Condon's!
We took a carriage ride our first afternoon to get a feel for the city.
This is us after the ride with our new friend Dakota!
Taking a break at the fountain to comfort our hurting feet.
Notice the fountain is a Pineapple....I say this because it took me awhile to notice!
Ami and I (Laine was the excellent photographer) after dinner our first night,
about to go checkout the city after dark!
Thought this was fun....checking out the vintage clothes at the Charleston Museum! Ok maybe this was for the children, but it didn't stop us!
We talked the lady of the weekend into coming into town one night!
She was glad she did! Love ya Tara!
Taking some photo opportunities, while Laine reads the tour guide book..........I love you Laine!
Rainbow Row.....historic Charleston landmark.
One of my favorite pictures from the trip.
The wedding took place on Saturday evening on the Isle of Palms.
It was beautiful and picture perfect! So happy for Mr. and Mrs. Dan Komar!
Love my friends!!
This was our last night, we were so sad to say goodbye to the city........
but, we promised we would come back!
If you are interested in coming on the next Charleston trip.........let me know :)
