Sept 2019 Charleston Girls Trip

September 2019

Angel Oak Tree near Charleston is estimated to be 300-400 years old. Its 65 feet tall, its longest limb length is 89 feet and provides 17,000 sq ft of shade.

Folly Beach! The iconic pier is in the background and just down the beach from our condo.

Looking back at the beach from the pier.

Some dude was fishing and pulled up a big one...

a big shark, eek!

He says you never know what you'll pull out of the ocean here!

We are so happy to be here!

Cheers, our first dinner out at Taco Boy!

Kayaking tour of Folly Creek.



What little wildfire we saw. We had to reroute a bit due to high winds.


We made it into Charleston, the pineapple fountain.

Rainbow Row.

The architecture here is beautiful and old.


Cheers, dinner at the no frills Bowen Island Restaurant!

Food with a view!

Sunset at the edge of Bowen Island.

Slave hut at Boone Hall Plantation.



Spanish Moss hanging from the trees.


The main house where the plantation owners lived.

We had lunch at Poe's Tavern on Sullivan's Island.

Sunset on Folly Beach.

We were a little squeamish about swimming after that shark catch, but today the water was more calm and we went in! And Leah played pick up volleyball.


Getting ready for our night out.

And our fancy dinner at Chick-fil-A, ha! (Cheap, good and quick)

We crashed my dear friend, Melissa's brother, Tony's wedding.

It was a lovely night.

Complete with late night biscuits and Megan's first Lyft ride!

Our last adventure to see Morris Island Lighthouse.

What a fun weekend. Last time we got away together was about 12 years ago in Chicago.
