Two weekends ago, I opened up my computer to find a word document from Corey telling me that my birthday present this year was a surprise trip to Charleston.  Normally this would already be basically the best present ever because Charleston is my most favorite place in the world (other than Paris, possibly), but the fantasticness (yes, that is a word) was quadrupled because we weren’t supposed to do presents this year.  So like, major surprise.  We fell in love with Charleston when I lived there for a summer internship during school and it became even more special to us when he proposed on a walk down the Battery in front of my favorite house.  Long story short, I would move there tomorrow if I could.  So I apologize because although I already showed you guys some Charleston pictures this summer, I am now showing you more.  Sorry.  Can’t help myself.

We stayed on the Vendue Inn and it is now by far my favorite Charleston hotel.  We had a beautiful room with a fireplace and a huge bathroom and the amenities were awesome (hello free cookies).  Also, the location was perfect.  We ate at Husk, Poogan’s Porch, the Rooftop Bar, and Cypress.  All delicious.  Although Husk was a little disappointing since you have to call a month ahead to get a reservation.  We also took a carriage tour for the first time (awesome) and a haunted jail tour (would have been scary but the guide was pretty bad).  Such a lovely trip.  Really and truly, the perfect birthday present.  Thanks Cor!
