Thanksgiving Weekend

Pinckney St., Charleston, S.C.

Ooops. It looks like I've skipped a couple of daily photo submissions. Today's photo is of the charming and historic Andrew Pinckney Inn on Pinckney St.

I hope everyone has had a good Thanksgiving. I've had a lovely one despite a nasty head cold. I packed a Thankgiving feast picnic and my son and I headed up to Lake Marion area for the holiday. We had a lazy morning, good meal, met a Facebook friend in real life and enjoyed a lakeside walk. The best news is that we still have two more days off, yay!

Where to stay in Charleston?

I've used this photo before but it fit this evening's question. I need to ask you all to help out a reader again. Here is her request:

May I ask a question, Joan? My husband (aka Mr. Brattcat), a dear friend, and I are planning a visit to your fair city next month. I know you've stepped inadvertently into the wedding planning business with Katie's request, but could I ask if you or one of your followers could suggest a B&B or a hotel that is not too glitsy/touristy? We're looking for some real old Charleston experiences and are eager for suggestions. Thanks!

The catch is, that most of us who live here never stay in the hotels. Who can help? Where should they stay?
