Weekend Trip to Charleston Edition
Do you remember long ago, a time when you would visit family and friends who had recently taken a vacation? They would pull out their slide projector and you would sit through hundreds of their family photos. You would sit and grin through them all, silently wondering when it would all end. I remember. We were that family. My dad would pull out the screen and projector and proudly click away. Today, I am my father. No projector or click of slides. I am just sharing a larger collection of photos than usual. My son will be getting married in Charleston in October. My husband and I spent three wonderful days in Charleston visiting the wedding venues and meeting with vendors. It was a happy, hot, humid trip, well worth the sweat and all the calories consumed! For my family who will be traveling to Charleston for the wedding, here is a taste of what you might experience on your visit.
Sweet tunes on the road. It’s a 4 1/2 hour drive from Atlanta.

Oh how I love your photography! The bridge pictures actually look like postcards. Just amazing!
And what a neat way to get your family excited about traveling to Charleston. I’m sure they are quite excited about the wedding anyway, but it’s so nice to see a sneak peak before hand.
The tree is fantastic. It looks like Charleston is the perfect place for a wedding. Oh – and I love your choice of music. Graceland is in my top ten all-time favorite albums (or do the kids say CD’s now? At least I didn’t say record.)
