Charleston

I’ve been very lucky, growing up my parents would take me to Charleston every year since my uncle lived there and our family had a house nearby. Charleston is such a part of my family’s story that my sister got married nearby on Kiawah Island. I take for granted how amazing the city is sometimes so this time when I visited with David for our babymoon it was great to get to see it through his point of view as someone who didn’t know Charleston. 

We were lucky enough to book the newest hotel in Charleston, Hotel Bennett. Hotel Bennett is right on King Street which is like the main street of downtown Charleston. King Street has all the best shopping, cute cross streets and a ton of incredible food options so staying on or near it is perfect for showing someone the city. I’d never stayed at Hotel Bennett before since it’s only been there about a year, but I’m so thrilled we got to stay there. The hotel is stunning, and we ate at each of the three restaurants and each one was fantastic!! They also have one of the best Spas in all of Charleston so I was able to get a very relaxing maternity massage. 

One of the things I was really excited about (David wasn’t as excited) was getting to shop on King Street. King Street is full of adorable shops that cover the spectrum from antique shops to places where you can get the perfect this-season dress. Since baby P is due to arrive in just a few weeks, most of my shopping revolved around trying to find him the perfect Charleston outfits….and I’m happy to announce I definitely bought them!!
