I am writing this post while on the way to Charleston.  Don’t worry, I’m not driving and posting!  I almost wish I was driving, because my husband seems to think I-26 is the Audubon and is constantly speeding up, slamming on the brakes, and radically changing lanes. (and he says my driving is bad?!)  Anyway, I am so excited to be visiting my favorite town in SC, and probably the US, and introducing our son to all the great food and culture that Charleston has to offer.  Traveling with an 8-year-old, our dining experiences will be slightly different from my usual Charleston haunts.  So, no mid-afternoon cocktails at the Charleston Place bar, no long lunches with wine at Magnolia’s, or brunch with Bloody Mary’s at High Cotton, or beers and margaritas at my favorite rooftop bars!  And guess what – I don’t care!  I am just ready to enjoy the weekend with my family.  So if my posts are more about the cold beer and crab cakes or watching the shrimp boats in Shem Creek, just read along and enjoy!  I intend to view Charleston through the eyes of an 8-year-old; except for the drinking age part!!
