A Few Days Behind...

A Few Days Behind...

It's Monday morning and we're in a bit of a scramble to get packed and head out to Savannah. 

There's so much to tell about our Saturday at Drayton Hall and Middleton Place, two very different, but very magnificent plantations on the Ashley River, and our visit to Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired, on Sunday. So much to tell, yes, but last night's decision to watch the US Open, from Tiger's tee-off to Beau Hossler's unfortunate amateur meltdown to Webb Simpson's club house victory, from as many bars as we could got in the way.  It was a blast - we walked all over downtown Charleston, stopped in lots of cool bars/restaurants, including Boone's Bar, T-Bonz (that was a repeat performance; we'd had lunch there earlier in the week) and Mac's Pub. We went into Squeeze, the tightest bar in Charleston, but their two televisions were tuned to the NBA finals at an earlier customer's request and both sets worked simultaneously, so we squeezed our way back out (It really IS that tight in there!). and We talked to lots of interesting bartenders, and had an awesome late night dinner and final toast at The Charleston Crab House.

I've posted pictures from Drayton Hall and Middleton Place in the interim. I'll tell the tales tonight.
