We pulled out of Fort Mill one-ish and then into the parking lot of the Charleston Marriott about two and a half hours later. Good driving weather, but oh so much traffic on I-77 and I-26.
The only hitch in our plans, was that Kathie was feeling a bit under the weather with a sore throat and wasn't able to join us.
We stopped at our favorite Charleston kitchen store after hopping off the shuttle at Waterfront Park. There were a few items that Miriam was looking for and she found them successfully.
I had my mind set on shrimp and grits but when we saw that the Thursday night special was half price appetizers, we took the unconventional route! First drink of the night for Miss M was a pink Cosmos and then we shared the smoked salmon dip. Yumm-O!!
Before catching our hotel shuttle, we moseyed back to The Market to get some free praline samples for dessert. One praline set Miriam back three bucks, but I got a bite and that was all I needed.
So that's it from Charleston. As soon as the math conference is over at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, we hit the road back to Fort Mill. I'll spending the night there and then get back home early Saturday morning. That's the scoop on my mystery trip. Have a good evening everyone!!
