Folly Beach Last Day

On our last day at Folly we packed up and said goodbye to our little cottage. We then headed into Charleston for a trip to the market and brunch. 

Mom had never been to the market and it is definitely something you had to visit if you are in Charleston. She bought another Sweetgrass basket. It is beautiful but I do not have a picture of it. These baskets are really expensive but worth it because they are handmade. I love traditions and handing down those traditions in families and that is what Sweetgrass baskets are all about. 

After shopping and walking around we were hungry so we decided on Poogan's Porch. Caleb and I had ate their at Christmas on our last trip to Charleston. Since we had Max and Lucy with us (our Yorkies) we loved that Poogan's is pet friendly. You can eat on the porch or the area in front of the house with your dogs. What a great place!!! We loved it! Poogan was the previous owner's dog and he is buried in the front yard thus giving the restaurant it's name. 

Since it was brunch we all had breakfast except Caleb. He had a fried pork chop with Texas Pete au juis. It was amazing! 

Then it was time to head home. I always hate leaving....

Folly Beach Day 7

Friday was our last day on the beach and it was another wonderful day! That night we took family pictures looking out at the Lighthouse on Morris Island. If you go to Folly you have to walk down there! 

That night we ate at Rita's again. It was just too good the first time! :)

For an appetizer we had Fried Pickles.Gotta love the South! We will Fry anything!

Caleb had the same thing, the Blackened Tuna Nachos . I had the same Shrimp and Flounder. Mom and Dad had Grilled Marlin which I had never had but it was really good. 

Folly Beach Day 6

On Thursday we finally got to show Mom and Dad around Charleston! It is such a beautiful place. I could spend hours just walking around. We were very lucky with the weather that day as it was cool sunny. 
We spent some time walking around the residential area. 

That night we ate at Fleet Landing. It was delicious as always! 

For an appetizer Mom and Dad got the Stuffed Hush Puppies, these are my favorite! Caleb and I decided to try something new the Crispy Shrimp Spring Rolls, they were fabulous!

Caleb got the Oyster, Shrimp, and Flounder. Dad got Flounder and Shrimp and for a side he got the grits. Let me stop there because the grits were amazing!!! These were just plain grits but oh my goodness they were wonderful. I wish that I had ordered some too. Mom and I had the fried shrimp. I know I eat a lot of shrimp but you just can’t get shrimp like that at home and I have to get all I can while I am there. J

After dinner we walked around Charleston. Mom loved it! I knew she would. Caleb and I really enjoyed getting to show them around.  I say that like we are locals but it is one of our favorite places to visit! I could definitely live in Charleston or Folly!

Oh and our dessert was homemade Peach Ice Cream from the little candy place beside the Market. I don't have a picture of that but it was great! I have been craving it since!
