We’re already on our way back from Charleston. It truly was a quick road trip, but honestly quite a bit of fun. When a trip includes 15+ hours in an RV one-way you know it’s going to be fun, right?! It was the best change of scenery, right as we’re nearing the end of winter. I swear I was craving that sun and it was calling my name.
I don’t have a ton of photos and we didn’t do a ton of things (for more ideas on what to do when visiting Charleston, this older post has better suggestions). To be honest, one of my favorite parts of the trip was just sitting on the porch throughout the day getting work done outside. I cranked through emails that I haven’t been able to do in weeks.
You know what that means though? I just have to take another trip down to Charleston. I’m definitely going to try to come back down in April actually. There’s just so much more that I want to do and see.
The group with the RV, Bennie, and the Wagoneer. It was a sight to be seen.
Bennie is the sweetest pup. My dogs would have been crazy in the RV I think, but Bennie was perfectly content to snuggle up on the couch all day as we drove.
We got to the rental house on Sullivan’s Island super late Sunday night, technically Monday morning. We somehow managed to get the RV parked and then all promptly fell asleep. After working in the morning, we piled into the Wagoneer (another experience) and drove into Charleston for some exploring and photos. (You can see some that we shot in yesterday’s post.)
I just can’t get enough of Charleston’s houses.
On Tuesday, it was incredibly muggy. I couldn’t get my hair in control whatsoever. Oh well! We went down to the beach for some more product photos. Even if it was a little overcast, it was just so nice to be outside. I eventually met up with Julia at her house and then we went out to dinner with some of her friends downtown.
And… we met up for coffee and breakfast in the morning. Getting to see her was a major perk of the spontaneous trip, and we’re even more excited now for our upcoming Palm Beach trip!
We were supposed to leave Thursday, but ended up leaving Wednesday afternoon. (A relief for all of us because the drive Sunday felt so much longer than we anticipated.) Dave and I biked down for quick sandwiches while everyone else was at a meeting.
Currently typing this on the RV with my computer tethered to my iPhone’s WIFI. #YOLO What a fun few days!
Ugh, now I want to go to Charleston. Gorgeous photos.

Bennie is so darling! Sometimes you just need a vacation that doesn’t try to pack too much in, so this sounds great to me! I can’t wait to go in April to visit friends!

This looks like such a fun trip! I am definitely not one to take spontaneous trips like this either, but after hearing about your experience I think it might be fun!

I think my favourite things to do in new places aren’t big things like seeing all the main attractions, but the small things like talking a long walk around the town or city! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
These photos are absolutely amazing! Looks like such a fun few days!

Gorgeous photos and glad you had a good time! One day I shall visit Charleston too.
I cannot believe how you managed two 15 hour drives in such a short time span, I would go crazy!
Ah! I love your pictures! Charleston is by far my favorite place in the world. I just got back from a similar quick trip there and captured some of the same gorgeous houses. I’m glad you went for a spontaneous road trip! You have to do that at least once in your life! At least yours was to a gorgeous city with friends, sunshine, and blue skies. My boyfriend and I took a spontaneous trip for my birthday last year to Cleveland and Buffalo/Niagara Falls in mid-February during a blizzard (fun but way too cold, hence why he opted to take my to Charleston this year)!
Charleston looks so amazing! Sounds like such a fun trip. I love when spontaneous things like that work out! 🙂 xo Devon Seventeen Dresses
