Everybody loves a petting zoo. One of Stacey’s most favorite animals is the ring-tailed lemur, so when dear friends of ours told us of a place just 45 minutes outside of Charleston that has these precious little velvet-pawed babies, we knew it needed to be on our...

There’s a little spot on the “strip” of Sullivan’s Island where we’ve eaten dinner, but never brunch. A few different people had told us their brunch was one of the best in the area, so we decided to go check it out and see what all the talk was about. Obstinate...

Locals know that one of the best places to check out a breathtaking Charleston sunset is Pickett Park at the Old Pitt Street Bridge in Mt Pleasant. Tucked in the back corner of Mt Pleasant’s oldest neighborhood, the Old Village, the ride past all the unique houses is...

Before summer sees itself out, there’s a little spot in North Charleston you just have to visit. Only 20 minutes outside of downtown Charleston, the booming Park Circle proudly boasts an ice cream shop. But not just any ice cream shop. It’s not big, corporate-made,...

Sure, there are a few good sushi restaurants in downtown Charleston, but tucked away in Mt Pleasant… off the main road.. in a strip mall… in a dive bar… is some of the best sushi we’ve ever put in our mouths. Everything about this place screams local. The...

Sometimes you hear live music and it’s nice to listen to but it’s more like background music. It’s just there. The musician is talented but they don’t capture your attention. They don’t really leave a lasting impression. They don’t draw you in. Not so with Danny May....

If we didn’t have to be naked in the wild, or afraid, I’d probably consider signing us up for the hit TV show Naked and Afraid. But, as much as we like to think of ourselves as “survivors”, having to boil animal feces infested water to drink, make our own lean-to...

So… we love wine. But because we like a glass of wine with dinner each night (it’s good for your heart, of course), it can get expensive. Even though we do our best to find the decent wines that are on sale (we had to make a rule that we would only buy...

One of our most favorite experiences to date in Charleston has been going out on a shrimp boat. One fateful day, we were kayaking on Shem Creek (will highlight how amazing this is in a subsequent post) and paddled past Captain Wayne Magwood. We struck up a...

We love nature. Everything about it. One day we were on our way to Edisto Beach, and I caught a glimpse of a side road out of the corner of my eye. Feeling uber adventurous and not on any time schedule, I said to Stace, “Did you see that? Let’s go check it...
