Spring in Charleston

I hope you all had a fab weekend! First I just wanted to thank you for your sweet comments and well wishes for Ruby. It never ceases to amaze me how many great people there are within the blogging community and I feel lucky to be a part of it. I can't thank you all enough!

This weekend my husband and I took shifts getting out of the house so that someone could always be home with Ruby. Steve went golfing Saturday which meant I got to enjoy some time downtown with Ally on King Street and at the Battery. It was the most perfect Spring day for walking around, grabbing a table outside for lunch, exploring the side streets and deciding which house I'd buy if I had a couple million to spend...

So where to start with this Second Sunday on King Street thing? I love that the street was closed off because the sidewalks there are narrow and its so nice having room to walk and enjoy the scenery.

Also, its the South, so there were so many older ladies dressed to the hilt with their Derby-style hats and dresses. Many of said ladies were pushing dog strollers or carrying a sling with a 2 pound Pomeranian strapped to their chest. Y'all, I've never seen so many dog strollers in one day...

After we perused some shops and had lunch, we headed toward the Battery to explore a little. The flowers are in full bloom so it was beautiful walking around White Point Gardens.

The houses along the gardens are the biggest I've ever seen. Of course they all have giant porches, huge windows, and gas lanterns that add to the charm. 

This one is for sale and can be yours for just $6 million.

 

It was so relaxing just to walk around and soak in the sun. It seems like Spring might be here to stay so I'm looking forward to more weekends downtown in our future! Got to get myself out of the 'burbs every once and a while!
