We started here at the very popular Hominy Grill. You may have seen this place on the travel channel.
I went with the famous Big Nasty.
Biscuit, fried chicken, cheddar cheese covered with sausage gravy. It was delish. Susan had some wonderful pancakes with cinnamon sautéed pieces of apple.
If you visit Charleston add it to your list of places to eat.
After that we walked around Charleston.
Sweet grass baskets at the market.
Beautiful planters, I was quite taken with the colors in this one. It included cyclamen, oxalis, and flat leaf parsley.
Beautiful, famous Rainbow Row. Look at that blue sky!
Walking around the Battery.

We then decided to drive out to Sullivan's Isle to see Fort Moultrie.
This is a view of Ft. Sumter from the beach.
Looking back at the Cooper River Bridge.
The beach was beautiful today.
Not windy and temps were in the upper 50's.
The Sullivan's Island lighthouse, rather industrial looking.
After all that walking we opted for a late lunch on the deck looking at this view and watching the pelicans on Shem Creek.
The seminar started this evening. We went over to the Historic Charleston Society for a reception and lecture. It was great catching up with everyone.
Tomorrow we get on a bus at 8:30 to head out to Middleton Place. It is going to be a fabulous day.
Now, I am going to stitch.
I hope that you had a great weekend.
Thanks for traveling along with me.

It looks like a beautiful day! The sun was shining here too which makes all the difference in the world!
Thanks for taking me to Charleston with you, Chris. For some reason, I can't get Rhett Butler off my mind!
Fantastic! I don't know when if ever I will ever be in Charleston, so this is a treat for me. Enjoy your time at the seminar!
Yummy food and clear blue skies...perfect vacation stuff going on.
Beautiful pictures, I love the color of the sky, we donot get many clear days in the winter so seeing that blue sky has lifted my spirits, thank-you for sharing a bit of lovely weather.

Wonderful! When we were in Charleston a few years ago my husband ran over that bridge every morning...he loved it! Love that beautiful old Southern city!

Perfect weather! I could live on Rainbow Row! Guess which house?!
Chris,
What a beautiful day for walking and touring. Thanks for taking us along. I love to see history. I can't wait for your next post. Have a fun filled day!
Charleston is beautiful but it was just TOO HOT at the end of July to enjoy all of its charm!
Lovely day out, glad your weather has improved. I look forward to joining you again tomorrow:-)
Gorgeous! Very lovely weather to enjoy your stay. I love all your photos. Seeing Charleston is a treat. Enjoy your seminar.
love Annette
Fiddle dee dee....I wish I had known about this seminar far enough in advance to attend. I'm sure it is wonderful.
I remember attending a sampler seminar at the museum years ago. In addition, Charleston holds a special place in my hear because Tom and I lived there for a year when we were still newlyweds.
What a perfect day! I have been to Savannah and love it. Everyone says that if I like Savannah , I would love Charleston even more!
Learn a lot and have a blast! I'm battling my dust mite allergy big time cleaning up this condo. :(
Your pictures brought back some great memories for me! Thanks and enjoy the rest of your stay! (I'm late reading blogs - you may already be home by now! :-) )
Oh, just look at that sunshine and beautiful blue sky--makes me want to jump in my car and head to SC :) Lovely photos of Charleston, Chris!
Great photos! Making me remember the time we spent in Charleston!
