Ron was 23 when he and I first met. It's hard for us to believe that was 37 years ago! We decided a great way to celebrate his birthday would be to spend some more time in Charleston. We have done something different almost everyday. A few of the things we've enjoyed have been:
We took a drive down the historic Ashley River Road, exploring the plantations of the area.

| Magnolia Plantation on the Ashley River Road, home of the oldest gardens in America. |
We spent a day walking around the town, exploring the side allies, galleries and shops.
 | ||
| The Heyward-Washington House. George Washington was entertained here. |
From the previous posts, we've enjoyed Cypress Gardens, the Irvin-House Winery and we have done some shopping too.
Today, we revisited The Firefly Distillery. Ron enjoyed six selections and settled on the Firefly Sweet Tea Bourbon and the Southern Accents Peach Cobbler Liqueur. They were out of the Bourbon (shucks!) so it was the Peach Cobbler Liqueur that made it's way into our shopping bag. It was suggested that the Peach Cobbler was excellent in apple cider..so it will accompany us to the southern NC mountains tomorrow. Next stop: the Hendersonville, NC area. (Flat Rock, NC)

For dinner, Ronnie was craving Greek Cuisine. It was suggested that Manny's Grill was one of the best in the Charleston area, so off we went.
It was very tasty and did not disappoint.
