Here Come the Tourists

Spring has definitely arrived in the lowcountry! And with the arrival of spring comes the tourists, or actually more of them. I forgot how busy downtown Charleston can be this time of year, especially on a Friday. But, I had promised teen daughter that since they didn't have school today we would go downtown.

Our first stop was to get breakfast at our favorite doughnut shop, Glazed Gourmet Doughnuts on King Street. She got her favorite, Maple Bacon, and I got Orange Pistachio. 

Next we headed to Urban Outfitters. She found a really cute dress and necklace. Then we made our way down to Forever 21. She was looking for a bathing suit and they had one she really liked, but they won't let you try on the bottoms! So with out knowing what they would look like on her, she decided that she didn't want to waste her money. But she did find a really cute pair of lace shorts. So I bought those for her.

I was starting to get a migraine by this time. I think it was from going from the cold outside into really hot stores. 

So we cut our day short and made a quick stop at the Gibbs Museum of Art. We looked at the exhibits and then headed back to the car to head home. 

I did notice while I was driving around looking for a place to park that they were filming the pilot for a new series called Reckless. If it's picked up I think they are going to be doing a lot of filming in Charleston. When I pointed it out to daughter, she wanted to park and watch, but since parking was a B*$#@, I told her we needed to take a pass on that!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
