One of the places that has been on my list forever was Charleston, SC. When we won tickets to the Masters, I knew we just had to extend the weekend trip to Charleston, SC for a few days. It was only a short 2-hour car ride from Augusta, GA and TOTALLY worth it. We just had to make a weekend trip to Charleston, SC.
We headed to Charleston straight from the Masters on Wednesday night and spent Wednesday evening to Saturday mid-day in Charleston. We left on Saturday as opposed to Sunday because flights were half the cost.
Below is an hour by hour breakdown of Charleston and yes, this is exactly how I had it planned prior to going. (Type A much?)

10 AM: All intentions were to go back to Callie Hot Little Biscuit, but there was a HUGE race happening downtown, so we settled for Starbucks. We also took some pictures on our walk there.
11 AM: Headed to the airport
We crammed everything into a few short days, but it was so much fun! Naturally, I changed outfits after every meal so optimize my photo opportunities, but regardless we are already itching to go back. It’s definitely our new favorite city!
