Charleston and Savannah... a timeline!

A belated timeline.

Tuesday -  Depart Louisville and fly to Charleston (via Baltimore).

Arrive in time for a late supper with Carly and Adam at Minero.  Quite delicious!

Wednesday - M and I walk around town and explore a bit.  We hit 10,000 steps before lunch!



Since we were on a Sean Brock streak we lunched at Husk for a delicious lunch.

Pimento cheese and a bibb salad.


Shrimp and grits with a ginger beer.


After lunch we hit the road for Savannah!

In the evening we meet up with friends for happy hour then head out for supper at Blowin' Smoke.
Pretty decent barbecue!  Afterwards, Spanky's!!



Thursday - Pool day with TP. We are professionals but it was HOT!!  That evening, after happy hour we walked a little shy of 2 miles to Elizabeth on 37th Street.  The route took us through many of the squares so it was quite nice.  We were even up for the walk back!



Friday - I met up with TP and Kath in Savannah.  We lunched at Zunzi's and shopped around town.
That evening was the reception for Mr. Louisville's work thing.  It was a work trip after all! Afterwards, we hopped on the ferry across to Savannah and went to 1860 Gastropub.  It was definitely my favorite restaurant we went to in Savannah.

Saturday - Mr. Louisville and I met TP and BP for brunch.  Then TP and I took off for pool day take 2 while Mr. Louisville took a trolley tour.  A trolley caught fire across the river and we watched the whole thing!
We rendevouzed with the group later for $1 oysters and $5 glasses of wine at our hotel restaurant.



Best deal of the trip!!  Afterwards it was dinner at Huey's followed by drinks at Spanky's.




Sunday - Mr. L and I hit the road back to Charelston stopping along the way to visit with my cousin David and his lovely fiance Taylor!  They are living about 30 minutes North of Charelston for a few months so it was nice to sneak in a visit!  We lunched at Graze and caught up back in their apartment.

Afterwards, we headed back to Carly and Adam's.  It was nice to hang out and drink rose while Carly prepared the best meal of the trip!!  Coconut Mango Chicken Fried Rice.  SO GOOD!!
Mr. Louisville and I had a night cap down the street at a neighborhood bar while Carly and Adam watched the Game of Throne season finale.  We returned just in time to catch the end of the NBA final game 6 before calling it a night.

Monday - We left early and grabbed a biscuit to go and then headed home.

A great trip!
