Charleston Escape for a night - Trees, shorelines, a sunset, and a sunrise - Charleston, SC travel p

In February I found myself with a little window on the calendar to escape and got in the car headed southeast. Charleston was the destination. Seeing the Angel Oak and the ocean were my main goals. It ended up being the perfect overnight get away from the cold, grey weather that was lingering in the mountains. A 'quick' overnight trip to this beautiful area left me longing to stay much longer. I managed to see so many wonderful parks, beaches, inlets, and trees that inspired me to no end. The Angel Oak has been on my must see list for as long as I have known it existed, and I am so glad I was able to visit its magnificence. I was not disappointed. At all. It was so lovely to meet a local artist, Frank DeLoach, in Angel Oak park where he was displaying some of his wonderful Angel Oak inspired art. I could have spent all day staring at and photographing that beautiful tree.

Charleston - I now really understand why so many people LOVE that area. The ecological diversity is mind-blowing. The history - the architecture - the landscapes - the food! are all spectacular. That each island and area has a bit of its own flavor is pretty amazing as well. Cannot wait to return soon.

I am excited to share some of my adventure with you! Hope you enjoy! If you know of places in that area I must see and need to add to my list for next time, let me know!
