I never like rushing down to Charleston. It's such a low key city - I like to get into the mindset of relaxing before I arrive. I'll typically mosey on down and aim to get there at 11AM - just in time for lunch. If I get there before lunch though, I'll grab a coffee or tea to kick things off.

King street has everything from Home Decor Shops to Clothing Boutiques to Antique Stores and more. So after I check in to the hotel, I'll walk over to King Street and do a little shopping. I rarely buy anything, but it's fun to pop in and out of the shops and see what they have.

After walking around, I start getting thirsty - so I'll grab a mid afternoon beverage.. The goal is to quench my thirst - so it's usually a tea or coffee, and Babas on Cannon is a Charleston essential. Plus they have some great stacks if you need something to tide you over till dinner.

If your room wasn't ready when you checked-in, it should definitely be ready by now. So at this point, it's time to head back to the hotel and freshen up before dinner. Relax a bit, shower if you want, and change into something cute. Then, if I have time, I'm headed to The Palmetto Hotel at 4:30 for an Espresso Martini before dinner.

I order way too much food at dinner - and probably one too many drinks, so I want to walk around after. A Haunted Tour is the perfect activity - it gets you walking around, plus its more fun with a slight buzz at night.

IF it's not too late at this point, I'll grab a drink at the bar of the Palmetto Hotel.. They have THE BEST espresso martini in town. It's topped with a Dulce de Leche foam that just makes it perfect.
