We typically visit Sullivan’s Island or Folly Beach when we go to Charleston.  Last weekend we spent time on Isle of Palms.

Let me tell you, I was so impressed.  There’s an entire little ocean front town with restaurants and shops.  VERY CUTE!  We tried a new restaurant (well, it was new to us) called Banana Cabana and it was 100% yummy! Stay tuned for a Food Diaries post.

These pictures were taken last Saturday.  Mom and I brought the boys down for the day.  Yes, you read that right – we came FOR THE DAY  Charleston is completely doable as a day-trip. I am working on a “Summer Series” post on how to do Charleston in a day.  It is one of our favorite things to do.  It’s perfect if  you’re like me and live on a budget but long to breathe in the salt air.

As a matter of fact, I am typing this post from a house in Charleston.  We came home for a little more than 24 hours and then a friend and I came back with JP for a few days.  What can I say??? I’m a BEACH BUM at heart.
