I have to say that this trip to Charleston and Savannah was a last minute thing, but I am so glad that we went because both cities were absolutely beautiful. My travel buddy, Collins, and I were wanting to go somewhere new that we both hadn’t been before and she mentioned Charleston. Once we started talking and planning Charleston we decided to just add a day trip to Savannah on the itinerary since it’s only about an hour and a half away. At first we were going to fly, but we generally tend to overpack and we love a road trip, so we drove the 13 hours from Memphis. Looking back, I’d probably fly over driving as the drive was so long and boring, but it did give us the ability to have our car and go wherever we needed to on the trip.
Where We Stayed
Since there were three of us, it was kind of hard to find a hotel room with enough space in the older historic parts of Charleston. A lot of the cute bed and breakfast type places only had a double or king bed and while we all love each other, we don’t love each other that much! Ultimately we decided on an Air BNB in Mt. Pleasant right near the water. The Air BNB was a carriage house above a garage and had two bedrooms and plenty of room for all of our stuff. Plus it was decorated so beachy and coastal shabby chic so we felt like we were in a Coastal Living catalog.
Mt. Pleasant is located just across the bridge from Charleston so it was really easy to head over there ever day to explore. Plus the old town of Mt. Pleasant was adorable and the houses were insane. We spent hours just driving around and stalking all of the beautiful homes. The Air BNB is right by the water as well so if you wanted to walk to the docks and check things out you could easily be there in a short 5 minute trot.
Where We Ate
Tradd’s Charleston– Tradd’s was definitely one of the nicer places that we ate during our trip to Charleston and the food definitely did not disappoint. This restaurant serves traditional American classic food but what I thought was most cool about Tradd’s was the decor and the ambiance.
Coastal Crust Mt. Pleasant– we had the BEST pizzas from this little hidden gem in Mt. Pleasant. To be honest, we would have never found this if it weren’t for one of Julia from Gal Meets Glam’s posts. I am still dreaming about the veggie pizza that I devoured from here. There are plenty of outdoor seats if you are looking for somewhere casual to grab a bite to eat.
The Citrus Club at The Dewberry Charleston– Collins’ aunt was staying at The Dewberry and we met her here for drinks one night. Apparently this spot is very hard to get into as it is a reservation only bar and they save a large number of those reservations for people who stay at the hotel. It was a really cool vibe and had great views of Charleston from the terrace.
Basic Kitchen Charleston– Basic Kitchen was probably my favorite place that we ate during our entire trip. The vibe was so chill and the food was delicious. I got the kombucha to start and we all shared several appetizers. After our lunch we went out back where they have their own herb garden. The whole experience was great and I’d highly recommend this restaurant if you’ll be in Charleston.
The Grey Savannah– The Grey was so cool because it’s actually an old Greyhound bus station that has been transformed into a restaurant and bar. We dined in the front bar for lunch during our day trip to Savannah and had several appetizers. My favorite appetizer by far was the Ricotta Toast which consisted of buttermilk, rye, and satsuma marmelade.
What We Did
Carriage Tour– we took a carriage tour with Old South Carriage tours which took us around the historic areas of Charleston. This 40-minute evening carriage tour focuses on the settlers who built Charles Towne from 1680-1770 and defended it against the Spanish, French, Native Americans, and pirates.
Ghost Tour– one of the coolest things we did on our entire trip was to take a walking ghost tour with Ashley on the Cooper Tours. I would say this is more of a historical tour than an actual spooky ghost tour, as you walk around and learn stories of hauntings and happenings. We didn’t see anything paranormal on our tour, but our tour guide showed us pictures that past guests had taken that captured orbs and creepy things.
Shem Creek– Shem Creek flows through the heart of Mt. Pleasant and it was cool to park and explore in this area since it was so close to our Air BNB. We also really enjoyed walking the board walk. You will find several waterfront bars and restaurants as well as fishing, boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
Pictures
Perhaps one of my favorite activities to do in any city is just to walk around and explore with no agenda. We did plenty of this in both Charleston and Savannah where there were several parks, attractions, and things to do. We went looking for the Forest Gump Bench in Savannah and after googling we found out the actual bench from the movie had been moved to a museum, but we were still able to find a bench in the park for a photo. We really wanted to go on The Notebook tour and a Plantation tour, but we ran out of time.
Have you been to Charleston or Savannah, and if so, what were your favorite things about each city?
Oh, wow! These pictures look amazing babe! I am loving everything you did, I’ll be keeping these places in mind when I go!
I love Charleston and Savannah! My favorite Southern towns. Love the history, the charm, the food, the hauntings (LOL) , spanish moss trees and all the colorful buildings!
naturally like your web-site but you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I
find it very troublesome to inform the reality
then again I’ll surely come again again. http://Ironthundersaloon.com/

Hey, how’s it going?
I want to pass along some very important news that everyone needs to hear!
In December of 2017, Donald Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as the captial of Israel. Why is this big news? Because by this the Jewish people of Israel are now able to press forward in bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.
The Jewish people deny Jesus as their Messiah and have stated that their Messiah has been identified and is waiting to be revealed. They say this man will rule the world under a one world religion called “spiritualism”.
They even printed a coin to raise money for the Temple with Donald Trumps face on the front and with king Cyrus'(who built the second Temple) behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the third Temple.
The Bible says this false Messiah who seats himself in the Third Temple will be thee antichrist that will bring about the Great Tribulation, though the Jewish people believe he will bring about world peace. It will be a false peace for a period of time. You can watch interviews of Jewish Rabbi’s in Israel speaking of these things. They have their plans set in place. It is only years away!
More importantly, the power that runs the world wants to put a RFID microchip in our body making us total slaves to them. This chip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18:
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. RFID microchip implant technology will be the future of a one world cashless society containing digital currency. It will be implanted in the right-hand or the forehead, and we cannot buy or sell without it! We must grow strong in Jesus. AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT TAKE IT!
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” (Revelation 14:9-11).
People have been saying the end is coming for many years, but we need two key things. One, the Third Temple, and two, the technology for a cashless society to fulfill the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.
