Charleston Trip Continued...

How gorgeous is this view?? This is what we will be looking out at during my sister's wedding in the Charleston in September.  She is getting hitched and having the reception at the Creek Club at I'on in Mt. Pleasant just across the bridge from Charleston.
Here is a pic of the hall and its big porch where the cocktail hour will be while we look out at that amazing view...
And here is a pic of the stairs on the side of the hall where my sister plans on entering from as she descends into the garden where the ceremony will be held.  Such a dreamy and romantic place!   Just like Charleston itself...
Since my Mom and sister and I were in town to finalize all the wedding details (the fun stuff: food, flowers, linens etc.) we usually didn't wander out and about until the early evening, when the light of the sun setting on the city was breathtaking.  
We had heard amazing things via word of mouth about McCrady's restaurant, which is a run by chef Sean Brock who embraces the local food movement and specifically and uniquely heritage grains as well as other local food.   We tried twice to stop by McCrady's for a drink and a snack at the bar (since we didn't have reservations) but we decided both times that even the wait at the bar was too much...and resolved to make reservations when we are back in September!
Really, I can't wait to share this place with Patrick and Fiona in September.  We are renting a beach house with my family for a weeks so it should be a nice, relaxing trip.
