Of course for every rule there is probably something that happened to make them write it. <br /><br />Have you tried the Marriott at King and Meeting? Some of my friends stay there. It used to be a Holiday Inn.Charlestonjoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590582268028752174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-28179541690874478852012-02-15T18:14:31.470-05:002012-02-15T18:14:31.470-05:00I was perusing your blog to get ideas of where to ...I was perusing your blog to get ideas of where to stay. So I looked up Two Meeting Street Inn and of course it is booked up during the time we wish to visit in April as are most of the other fine Inns. I had to laugh however when I was at their website and under the heading Policies, I found the following "The Inn does not allow weddings or wedding related activities on the property. No photography please." Apparently that goes unheeded as well it should. So, now we're trying to decide whether to stay at Folly Beach or keep looking for something downtown.Antjashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032661963227386912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-24257886944334712822012-02-03T21:58:25.738-05:002012-02-03T21:58:25.738-05:00I read that you aren't allowed to take picture...I read that you aren't allowed to take pictures on the spring house and garden tours and thought of how painful that would be so I wondered about the houses.Charlestonjoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590582268028752174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-27988638201275546052012-02-03T19:06:21.732-05:002012-02-03T19:06:21.732-05:00Hmmm.

Even if you can't I think they are great representations of Charleston style architecture and shouldn't be missed! Another great photo-op I failed to mention is the trip to Ft. Sumter. The fort is amazing (and a huge piece of history) and has amazing views of Charleston, James Island, Sullivan's Island. From the boat you can get a great shot of the U.S.S. Yorktown/Patriot's Point and the Ravenel Bridge.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629728253457090895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-13411593450833639412012-02-02T22:34:18.742-05:002012-02-02T22:34:18.742-05:00Pamela - Perfect!

Nothing like rowing a boat through a swamp to get a REAL, up close feel for the South!! They also have the butterfly house that I even I haven't checked out yet! There is also Mt. Pleasant Waterfront Park. My favorite time to visit is at sunset. I also recently discovered the gorgeous interior of the city post office on Broad/Meeting St. My favorite houses to visit are the Aiken Rhett house for the architecture and gigantic portrait of Harriet Aiken and also the Nathaniel Russell house for the staircase - amazing!! Chirrup18 is correct, everywhere you look in Charleston there is something worth photographing. Just wander the city. Even if you don't have an agenda you won't be disappointed.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629728253457090895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-41618956887358498912012-02-02T11:32:53.433-05:002012-02-02T11:32:53.433-05:00Oh, oh- Mepkin Abbey!.

Charlestown Landing is often overlooked as a prime spot for photographers, but it's one of my favorites for getting up close and personal with gators, storks and sometimes even foxes, as well as some of the best live oaks in the area! The old village of Mt. Pleasant offers some lovely architecture, too. So much more...everywhere you look...you can't take a bad picture in the Lowcountry!! Welcome to the prettiest place on earth!Chirrup18https://www.blogger.com/profile/05379290397162702717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-71690019778730421252012-02-01T22:29:50.487-05:002012-02-01T22:29:50.487-05:00The Gateway Walk is always a good place to start. ...The Gateway Walk is always a good place to start. I'd also suggest visiting the new Shem Creek boardwalk for sunset photos and a great view of the trawlers. My favorite place to walk is the lower East side of Charleston between East Bay and Meeting near Broad Street. I love the alley ways! Sunday is a great time to walk because most of the churches are open for a bit after service for visitors. If I had to suggest a plantation I would say Magnolia because it has such a variety... the petting zoo, the maze, the house, the gardens and gorgeous bridges and most of all the Audubon Swamp! Those are my thoughts off the top of my head. I'll have to do some brainstorming. Will they have a car? The Angel Oak is also worth the drive!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629728253457090895noreply@blogger.com
