The Top Five

There were lots of great links at last weeks party and these are the top five most viewed by y'all. Several of you seem to think if you aren't one of the first sixty or so linked up that you won't get many visits or a chance to be featured. The links really are visited all the way down. One of the top five most visited today was linked half way through the party. So, please don't worry about when you arrive at the party, because all the party goers get visits.
                                                Blessings,

A Jewel Of The South

Oh yes...Charleston, S.C. is a southern jewel!!! If you have ever been there, I am sure you would agree with me. This city is full of history, and a wonderful place to learn a lot about the South. Back in October, Mr.CC and I spent a couple of days there, it was his first visit and my second. Not only is this city full of history, the food here is out of this world GOOD!!!! We had heard wonderful reviews about Magnolia's, so we knew we had to eat there, and we were so glad, we did just that. Here are some facts about the area, that I thought you might find interesting.

Little Known Facts about Charleston, SC

1.) Charleston boasts the first public college, museum and playhouse in the United States.

2.) George Gershwin composed his well known opera Porgy and Bess while living on Folly Beach, South Carolina. Porgy and Bess are buried in the James Island Presbyterian Church graveyard.

                     This is the battery area...it's the most popular area
                                               for tourist.

                        Oh my...these are some serious cannon balls!

                                Southern mansions line the streets.

                    

                         Look close and you will see how these two
                                      houses are connected.

                             Pure SOUTHERN CHARM!!!!

                                The best way to see the city is going on
                                 a carriage tour...the tour guides are full
                                                     of info.

                                              

                                          Beautiful ironwork.

                 Now, here we are at Magnolia's. Fried chicken was a must, so
                      Mr.CC had it along with some other southern goodies.
