Charleston

Getting away from the typical hustle and bustle from every day life is always enjoyable. Especially when the place you are visiting is one you have never set foot. The potential of discovering a great city, a new favorite restaurant or new knowledge of our history is thrilling. This Memorial day weekend we were able to visit Charleston with Anthony's parents (Scott and Debbie); it was a fantastic weekend. Thanks to Scott and Debbie, we were able to go on some tours around the city and see one of the oldest plantations in the south. The architecture in Charleston is gorgeous. The brick, the columns, the wood, the detail and thought used to build these houses was breath taking. It was impressive to hear the patience these architects had in order to build something unique and relevant to their generation. Detail which we often take for granted or we oversee; I was amazed none-the-less. One detail which captivated me was the way 'the wealthy' of the city laid their brick and the measures they went in order to show their guest just how rich they were. Well enough with the talking and more with the showing!

Simply gorgeous.

I absolutely love the ivy on this house.
