Bastille Day Beginnings

July 14th, Bastille Day

The French Independence Day is celebrated here in Charleston every year.  If you are in town next year, head over to the restaurant called Fish on King Street for their Bastille Day celebration.  Their celebration includes dancing ladies, music, pomme frites (fresh cut french fries), beignets, a game of petanque on the porch (a french bocce ball game), grape stompers, a mime, and so much more.

Find your own petanque set here.

This Bastille Day was the day I decided to start this blog with some convincing from these two lovely ladies.  Thanks girls!

Then head south on King Street and go to Bin 152, my favorite place in town.  Bin 152 is a wine and cheese bar that is so incredibly romantic and delicious.  

Try their cheeses and charcuterie, you'll return every night thereafter for more.

Rainy Day Sailing

Charleston often has afternoon showers in the summer.  The beauty is, these showers only last an hour or so and then the sun comes right back out to say hello.

The dinghy ride out to the sailboat at the mooring...

You too can get out on the water while you are visiting Charleston.  Take a boat ride out to Fort Sumter Island and tour a piece of American History.  The tour will pick you up 3x a day from downtown Charleston or 2x a day from Patriot's Point.  Tours are $18 for adults and $11 for children.  Click here to visit Fort Sumter Tour website or give them a call to make reservations 1-800-789-3678.

We've arrived home and to a one-legged bird...

A Very Happy Charleston-er!
