Finally...some GREAT "Q"

This morning, Wednesday morning, went to our second super Continental breakfast at the “17 Hundred 90 Inn”. We were chatting with a couple from New Jersey we had met yesterday and saying our good-byes to the nice, hard-working ladies staffing the breakfast and the gracious owner of the inn. I bought a cute tee shirt sold at the inn that says, “I slept with a ghost at 17 Hundred 90 Inn.” This may not be true because as much as I hoped I WOULD see one of the reported ghosts of the inn, I don’t believe I did. On the other hand, perhaps I just was not aware I slept with one of the ghosts because I’ve been told I can sleep through anything…LOL! Interestingly, one of the pictures Ladd took in Savannah, (not at the inn, however), shows multiple semicircle “orbs” over the picture. The waitress and I both said, “Wow” when we looked at that picture. Who knows? Ladd and I were sad to leave Savannah and the inn because they are both so lovely and welcoming.
Got off the interstates and took the "back" road from Savannah to Charleston, going through Beauford, SC on the way. Talk about going "back" in time - jaw dropping waterscapes, Spanish moss draped streets, and colonial architecture. Sadly, the weather decided provide us with a less than perfect day but we really can't complain as it is only the third day in almost three weeks where rain ruined our plans. Enjoy the photos, we enjoyed taking them.
We then drove to our next stop: Charleston, South Carolina. It was still a chilly 45 degrees and raining, so we actually didn’t mind it being traveling time. (Ladd and I both felt lucky because during our whole trip so far, this was only the third day of rain.)
After dropping off our things in the hotel, we headed out to go to the Visitors’ Center and to do a little exploring of Charleston. We walked on Market Street and visited “City Market” (crafts and shops), walked around Broad Street (many art stores, art exhibits, and City Hall), Meeting Street, historic King Street, and Bay Street (Waterfront Park). At this point we were a little cold and went back to the hotel to warm up and relax before dinner.
Just a couple doors down from our hotel is a casual barbeque place that got good reviews both in the Charleston guides and online from people who had been there. So we headed to “Bessinger’s Bar-B-Q”. You order at the counter and then when your “buzzer” goes off you pick up your tray. They are famous for their three different styles of barbeque sauce they make: original, hickory, and spicy. We tried a little of each and liked them all, but our favorite was the spicy sauce. Another absolute favorite of ours was their giant onion ring that we shared. Great batter and flavor! Ladd said it may be the best onion ring he’s ever had, and if there’s a next time I’ll get my OWN onion ring…<g>!
We both need an early bed time as we are exhausted and have lots of exploring of Charleston to do tomorrow.
