The weather was great for our stay sunny and low 80's but cooler and much more enjoyable at night.
We spent the afternoon walking around - checking out the Pineapple Fountain, Waterfront Park and walking along the battery. We'd all been up early so we took some time to relax around the hotel.
Our first dinner was at Hanks and it was one of my favorites. I had the Seafood a la Wanda, as did my brother and everyone else had the grouper... Tatum had a nap!
We'd stayed at The Restoration previously and loved it so this time we got a three bedroom suite so we could all be together - it was perfect for Tatum because there was plenty of space to play... and plenty of playmates who entertained him each morning/evening.
Part two tomorrow...
You went to two of my favorite restaurants on your first day - I love the she crab soup at Hanks! xo,Biana-BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteHyman's Seafood is absolutely the BEST in Charleston! Hit them up next time you go back! Delicious food and even better service!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVED Husk when we were in Charleston!
ReplyDeleteHusk is SO good! There are so many great restaurants there that I look forward to trying the next time we visit. We were thinking about staying at the Restoration but ended up staying at the Vendue which was great. I am glad that you had a fun time!!
ReplyDeleteWe loved Kiawah when we went there a few years ago! Such a peaceful place!!
ReplyDeleteI know you know how much I love Charleston so I am all sorts of jelly that you got to spend time there! How fun to spend that quality time with your family too :)
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that food has my mouth watering! Sounds like you had picture perfect weather - so nice you guys were all about to stay together, too!
ReplyDeleteI think they just showed this same suite on an episode of Southern Charm? I could be wrong but it looks similar! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe Restoration is THE BEST! I am staying there this summer with a bachelorette party and cannot wait. Excited to see more from your trip!

That was so smart to get a suite so that y’all could all be together! And hooray for visiting Husk! I thought that their burgers were so good!
ReplyDeleteOk it's official, I need to just get in the car and finally drive up there for the weekend. The Restoration looks amazing, and yay for great weather!
