Saturday morning so where are you going today?

The weekend is the time to take a daycation or if you're so motivated check out places close to your home to go for an overnighter.

We're fortunate that we live in Charleston South Carolina so daycations are a regular for us.

Those in other parts of the country that are facing holiday storms I feel for you.  Don't get me wrong it gets cold here in Charleston, occasionally but yesterday it was a balmy 77 degree but tonight it's going to get cold here, maybe even freezing overnight.   The good thing is it will be warm again in the daytime.

Charleston has so many exciting places to visit and restaurants, well you could put on ten pounds in a weekend without even trying.  Hyman's Seafood Restaurant on Meeting Street is my favorite and it's just steps away from the Historic market.  Should be a must on anyone's list.  Say hi to Eli and Brad, they'll love to visit with you.




If you're in the area and want to go paddleboarding, I hope you'll enjoy it as much as our family does.  Picture below was one of our first outings but we were able to get the hang of it quickly. This is my daughter Angie and I.  The water temperature right now is only 61 degrees so if you're going to venture out you'll need your wet suit for sure. 


 
Slightly North of Broad is another restaurant favorite here in Charleston

 

You might want to venture out to Shem Creek to watch the Shrimp boats as they come in to the creek with their bounty.  Stop by Wando Seafood adjacent to the creek for fresh shrimp just off the boat or a stop at GeeChee Seafood for fresh fish and you can get shrimp off their boat too.  You might even see the manatee that visits occasionally for his drink of fresh water from the hose.



Or you can take a walk through the historic district along the Battery.  There are so many gorgeous homes, and bed and Breakfast stops too.  This is one of my favorite;
 

 
Or just take your friends to the beach like we did last night and it's butts up!
