Josh and I had a week off for Thanksgiving break so we decided to take a road trip! There was a lot of country we had never seen before, so we took our time site seeing with the final destination being my Grandpa's house in Beaufort, South Carolina.
We stopped in Vicksburg Mississippi for coffee. That is the Mississippi River right behind me.
Walking around downtown Beaufort, SC.
Grandpa treated us to a night in Charleston, SC. What a fun place! We parked the car once and didn't get back in until we were leaving. Everything is pretty much in walking distance. We took a carriage tour since there is so much history in that town. Here we are eating She Crab Soup (not my favorite), fried Flounder, and Charleston Red Rice. It was a real treat to eat fresh fish everyday.
Back in Beaufort for Thanksgiving dinner with Grandpa and Joan. Grandpa loves to cook so we were treated to a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner... plus no clean up! I don't know how I scored that, but it was pretty sweet.
In front of their home in Beaufort.
For our last day in South Carolina, we drove to Greenville. Josh and I both loved their incredible downtown. It's not huge, but there is a lot to do. Here we are after we grabbed some coffee, walking through the downtown park. There is a suspension walking bridge that crosses over a river. Lots of people watching, coffee, food, and shopping. Such a fun place!
It was so nice to be able to spend some time with Grandpa and Joan. It was a very relaxing Thanksgiving holiday.
I enjoyed the peace and quiet... since next year should be a little different. Hope you all had a nice holiday as well!
