Charleston at Christmas

Dog & Horse, Church St., Charleston, SC   

I am getting slack. Who knew we had a Dog & Horse Fine Art & Portraiture store on Church St.? I didn't. Click the link to check it out. Dogs and Horses doggone it.

The Meeting St. Inn looks festive as always at Christmas but do you notice something missing from the frequently photographed windows on Tradd St.? The pig is gone from the window. The property may have changed hands but I don't believe city council voted to let them take the pig out of the window.

Savannah - holiday weekend trip

Savannah, Georgia

I have already made the most of my July 4th holiday weekend - thank you America! Savannah is just over 100 miles down the coast and a perfect weekend get-away. Stretching the budget we stayed at a Courtyard Marriott midtown and then found a deal for Friday night at the Inn at Ellis Square in the historic district. Good planning!

Checking my phone step counter yesterday we walked over ten miles - parking at Forsyth Park and heading all the way to the river and back exploring all the beautiful garden squares along the way. We ate a praline on the river walk, visited the city cemetery, St. Johns Cathedral, the SCAD shop and museum and splurged on the Old Pink House for dinner. This morning we did a drive through Bonaventure Cemetery and visited friends before heading back to Charleston. Thanks Savannah!

Happy July 4th everyone!
