1 East Battery--the de Saussure House. This has been my favorite house in Charleston since I was little and visited there for the first time. It's now condos that go for at least $3 million apiece.
Who was out in a field picking her own strawberries to snack on? ME!!
That's right! Shrimp 'n' grits! A lowcountry staple! YUM! That's what the white stuff is--the creamiest grits I've
ever had. Fantastic, spicy, yummy goodness. I was so sad when all the grits were gone. I'll admit that I dug under the sausage and shrimp for it.
How did we get around our last day in Charleston? In my father-in-law's pickup! My husband took a picture because fast sports car-loving-me driving a pickup was so out of character. It was fun!
Well, the shrimp with my grits had to come from
somewhere...

Oh my gosh...strawberries in APRIL? In Washington, they ripened mid-June. Here in Maine, Fourth of July! And shrimp...heaven! Hubby is highly allergic, so I only get it wwhen we go out, which is once a year or so, and they are my faves. Hmmm....think I need to head South for a visit (either before or after the weather is hot!).
Sounds like a wonderful trip (and obviously I'm way way waaaaayyyyy behind on the blog ring and will never get caught up!)
Cheers, Sarah
