I just happened across this bakery. They grind wheat every morning to make their baked goods. Biscuit sandwiches also very good. We bought a loaf of bread with pumpkin and sunflower seeds to have with soup next day. Best bread ever!!! 12 miles from our place towards Summerville. Coffee not so great.

We had an amazing day kayaking Shem Creek and out in to ocean around small sand bar islands. I would highly recommend!! Just did Quemby Creek. Only 30 minute drive from apartment. An amazing two hour kayaking experience on black water river with lots of wildlife and great guide. I have been on Quemby three times in four weeks with friends and family. Each time was different with flor and fauna. Would go again and again. Only 1/2 drive to put in from our place.

If you are coming to Charleston for a few days then I recommend taking one day to go Savannah. It is a two hour drive. If you leave at 6am you can have breakfast at Back in the Day bakery or Maple Street Biscuit Co for the best southern biscuits. Then walk through the historic district(pick up a free map at one of the trolley tours you can also park in this area.) for lunch I recommend B.Matthews Eatery. I have eaten there twice and never disappointed. Then walk the Riverside District starting at The Waving Girl Statue. And finish off your day at Leopold’s ice cream. Both times I’ve gone I’ve waited an hour in line and it has been worth it!

If you come to Charleston to learn about history and culture I highly recommend. All the families seem to be intertwined...even with Middletons. A self guided (with audio you download on phone) tour through home that has been preserved “as is”. From here recommend touring Nathaniel Russel House. Less expensive to purchase the two together.
