Charleston

King Street Market

7:00:00 AM


I love traveling, having just been in Charleston in June you've probably gotten sick of all of the travel posts by now. There was so much to do down south that I have a lot to share. 
Remember when I said we were stuck in Charleston? Down south, they have a law that says nobody can work on Sunday, therefore our truck wasn't going to be done until Monday which left us a full day in downtown Charleston.

Having unplanned extra time on a trip, meant we really had no idea what to do. Luckily for us, Charleston has a street market every second Sunday of the month during the summer on King Street. They block off the entire street and allow food trucks to park there. Crowds of people join in for the fun.

I even found some Macarons from a French pastry stand. It was salted caramel and it tasted delicious!

They even had a spot where you could stop and pet some adorable puppies!

Having the street closed off, meant I could get cool photos down other streets like this one! 

Cart

I also stopped for some lemon ice on our way back to the car. 


Being stuck in Charleston may have prolonged our vacation, and could have caused us a ton of stress, but we could have been stuck in the mountains somewhere between Kentucky and Tennessee. Having an extra day to explore was great, and it'll be a memory that I won't forget anytime soon! 
I hope you're enjoying these posts! Did you visit any street markets this past summer? Hope the weather is staying warm for you all as well!

Charleston

Night Market

8:00:00 AM



Charleston is a city that is filled with so much history. Everything changes when the sun goes down. The streets look different, and the colors of the houses go away, but it's still magical. Walking around Charleston at night on the cobblestone roads is really fun. 
While my family spent time in the city (the first night we were there), we were lucky enough to experience the night market.

The market in Charleston was built between 1804 and the 1830s. It was rebuilt once after a fire, but is still the oldest market in the United States. 
Charleston is filled with such deep and long history, I've loved it every time that I've been able to be walk the streets there. There was also live music between buildings!

Downtown

Do you ever imagine being in a city way back when everything was settling into place? Charleston is so beautiful and I hope that you all get to see it someday! The food is amazing, the people are great and the weather has never disappointed us yet!

Autumn

Sunflowers and Monster Cookies

8:00:00 AM


When you go to bed at half past midnight and are woken up at seven in the morning because you have a roommate who decided to make use of the microwave at such an early hour, and then eat her breakfast only to fall asleep shortly after eating, immediately putting you in a grumpy mood, it's important to treat yourself a little bit.
 Last semester was cold, and Winter-y. You remember. Being my first weekend back at University, I decided to check it out. I was up already anyway...so why not?


Peppers

There was Autumn in the air, and I started to feel very excited that I can pull out my new jackets bought a few months ago, and my favorite ones as well.
I parked my car a block away, pulled my bag over my shoulder and grabbed my camera. It felt so nice having my camera with me once again, on one of many adventures. I've missed it.
The park was scattered with people of all ages and rows of vegetables, fruits and homemade goods. There were peppers, and squash and pumpkins. I love Autumn. 
Along the way I picked up a few samples of bread and dip, and good-for-you granola, which seems to becoming more popular! I love making granola, I find it quite fun! 
There were HUGE wheels of bread of all kinds! My eyes weren't that big, there would be no way one person could eat that all by themselves in one sitting, but I suppose that isn't what they're meant for! 
They did look great though! Being woken up at 7am almost, I thought it would be nice to get myself a bit of a treat, there were homemade cookies with all natural ingredients, so I picked up this Monster Cookie-cookie for $1, because you know what. I deserved it. It was delicious, soft and fresh..It's still my birthday month anyway. 
Across from the food market, there was an art market as well, where a lot of cool jewlery and tapestries were on display. I picked up some little stickers, that I'm sending off in the mail with some of the cards I'll be writing soon! As well as, a little something for my Grandma, even though her birthday isn't until November...at least I'm not shopping for Christmas yet....right? 
I kept walking by a cute bouquet of Sunflowers, having really wanted them, it was kind of an impulse buy. And by kind of, I mean it was. I don't have a vase, or any idea how to keep these flowers alive. But they're pretty to look at while they're here. 
It's always nice to treat yourself. Because who's going to buy you flowers if you've just got yourself/ anyway? Whenever I feel down I can always look at these and have a better mood. They're so bright! I love it!
Have you been to the markets lately? Are they still happening around you? What is your favorite thing to get? 
I hope you're having a great week!
