Hometown Swap!

. . .

It was really fun going to the market, and around town to find things that best represented Charleston, SC. I really do live in one of the most historically rich/beautiful cities in the United States…if i do say so myself. 

Some fun facts about Charleston: 

~The first game of golf ever played in the US was played in Charleston, SC.

~The first shot fired in the Civil War was fired by Citadel Cadets on Morris Island.

~There are NO basements in Charleston, SC…the water table is too high. 

~Black Beard & several other pirates held Charleston Harbor at siege in 1719.

~On 12/20/1816 there was an unanimous decision to pass the first ordinance of secession.

~The Swamp fox {Mel gibson made a movie about him aka the Patriot} helped build Fort Sullivan.

~Many of The Notebook movie scenes were filmed in Charleston, SC.

& tons more. 

Basically you can just google Charleston SC and look at the images. 🙂

So with that being said i sent Kristin a box full of little trinkets from my beautiful city: 

BASICALLY…those Pralines are the best thing ever. Seriously, DELICIOUS.

You can find some online here; that was one of the only GOOD websites i could find. 

Some people might be thinking what the heck is the pineapple?! Well it’s actually a silver coaster picked up from our Market. Down at our waterfront park we have a huge Pineapple fountain that children {and adults too} can get in, wade through some of the water, and just enjoy!
