Alyson to Charleston Part 2

Alyson was able to come back to Charleston for an impromptu weekend visit. We only had 48 hours to get everything in. First stop on her list was a big nasty from Hominy Grill. You gotta love the deep south; biscuits, gravy and fried chicken! The weather was a bit overcast the whole weekend...so beach time was out. We saved up our energy for a night out on the town. Here's Sister getting ready...she enjoyed a little sweet tea vodka before we headed out.
Of course we had a wonderful meal at Mercato. Super yummy Italian food. They had fun music playing and delicious Espresso Martinis. MOM: You would have loved the martini!
After we stuffed our bellies we headed out for daiquiris and dancing. We rocked the dance floor at Wet Willies! Alyson is paused on the dance floor in this picture.
After brunch the next morning...we just strolled through Charleston hitting the market, one of the waterfront parks and wandering through the charming downtown neighborhoods of Charleston.
Even though we couldn't spend the day at the beach. We still went and took a little walk. Showed her Washout Beach where the surfers like to hang ten. We found an amazing shark tooth on the beach. It was huge! Made Alyson a little worried that there was an animal with teeth that big in the water...but I pointed out that he was at least one tooth short of a full set.
One last southern dinner Sunday night including fried green tomatoes and grits, sweet tea and fried chicken with greens. We logged lots of good sister time before her 6am flight Monday morning. Nothing like a Scholz sister! Love you sister, so glad you were able to come one last time!
