Charleston

Catherine went on her first road trip this week to Charleston, we had a wonderful time. Catherine was an angel on the way down, sleeping the entire three hours. We went down for our anniversary and to see John's Great Aunt, making her Catherine Great GREAT Aunt. Aunt Annie wrote to John alot while he was at sea, he holds a special place in his heart for her and we wanted to take Catherine to see her while she is still little.

We had a great time going to lunch and then Aunt Annie took us on a "Molony Tour", we saw the Church that John's Granny and Hubba were married in, the house where Aunt Annie and Hubba grew up and the house where John's Great Grandmother was born and raised. We also went on a tour of Sullivan's Island, we saw the house that Granny and Hubba lived in. It was priceless!

We had our anniversary dinner at Shem Creek Bar and Grill, again Catherine was as good as gold. The food was good but the company was the greatest!

On Wednesday we went to Boone Hall Plantation, it wasn't all that great at all. The grounds were very pretty but the house was very disappointing, it was built in the 1930's but they tried hard to pass it off as the original house at the beginning of the tour, even down to the tour guides dressing in period clothing. We won't be going back nor I recommend anyone else going. After we left the "Plantation" we headed downtown to the Market and to A.W. Shucks for lunch. Catherine got a Charleston T-Shirt and the cutest little bag that say's "Going to Nana's" it's made out of oil cloth, the lady that makes them was great, check out her website http://www.tannerbananer.com/ - she has some great bags, bibs and aprons.
