12.15.24 Sullivan's Island Poe's Tavern 

Moderate prices, friendly staff, dog friendly outside and on porch, bar on porch. Fun vibes and best burgers. Parking limited 

 

They make their veggie burgers in house, you think it's smallish portions but the servings are exceptionally filling!

 

I tried the pimento cheese version with potato salad.

 

 

Potato salad very fresh and delicious.

 

Veggie burger slightly spicy, nice bun, fresh condiments, good!


12.15.24 Fort Moultrie

What a wonderful tour for $10! Super knowledgeable staff. I didn't take pictures but highly recommended if you love the military, artillery and history.

Moultrie grave engraving reminds us of what greatness and patriotism is.

Not dog friendly except for service dogs.


The Animal Preserve at Charles Towne Landing 

November 4, 2024

 

A delightful State Park, $12, dogs allowed but not at zoo or house (in the past I took Beau here for a fun interactive historical walk, today I focused on the Zoo, house closed due to wedding).

 

Nice inside museum, snacks, can bring your own water, use bug spray in the warmer months.

 

I used to watch Mutual of Omaha when I was little, amazed to discover Jim Fowler helped design a natural setting for native South Carolina animals.

 

An African American graveyard was unknowingly destroyed in the 1970s, a plaque and signs designate areas of respect.

 

Lovely walk, camellias fragrant, the otter was avtive but I didn't take a photo thinking I'd get one later but he wasn't to be seen 😂.

 

Highly recommend this educational place, inside museum super informative.


The Dime on Daniel's Island 

Trying places I couldn't go with Beau, as usual a coffee meal and tip at The Dime about $30, oops!

 

Family friendly, gravel parking by the pier has a high curb entrance and some dips like potholes but beautiful trees and the trail is nearby and of course the water 

 

Got Lavender delicious hot Mocha Lavender Decaf latte and a healthy refreshing avocado black bean egg cheese breakfast burrito with bacon of course!, i did have to ask the friendly server for salsa, they have hot sauce and salsa Verde which was pasty, hmmm. Only thought, they upgrade their salsa.

Definitely recommend!


USS Yorktown and Laffey

Since Beau Bo passed I've been doing things Ive always wanted to do but couldn't take him so I held off. I'll post later about the Charleston Museum, Caw Caw Exhibit and Patriots Park, before he crossed we did Drayton Hall and Hampton Park which I'll also post about another time.

James Island County Dog Park

Upon entering the park, brackish lake ahead, dog wash area to the left, watch out for alligators. I've only seen them on the other side of the lake but always good to be cautious as they are strong and surprisingly fast.

Park Circle Playground and Frisbee Golf

 

There's a wonderful up and coming area called Park Circle however this post is about the nearby playground in the shape of a circle, INCREDIBLE! It's the World's Largest Inclusive Playground, I even saw a Speech Pathologist dream, language based area.

 

Wish they had one of these for adults, definitely would take children here for a fun free outing.

 

There's a dog friendly sidewalk around the circle as well as a Frisbee Golf course across the street from the park also in a circle around the drive.

 

So fun!

Chef's Store at Sunday Market on Meeting Street 

 

Finally made it to the Chef's store on meeting and what I thought was a farmers market north of it on Meeting Street.

 

I thought the Chef's store would be equipment etc, it is open to the public but actually had lots of bulk food and supplies!

 

Some pricing seemed more than Aldi's of course but they had huge blocks of cheese, pieces of meat, etc. Definitely a hostesses dream!

 

I went north of the store, saw A LOT of cars by the Refinery, thought it was a farmers market, stopped and did a walkabout, pretty much all second hand clothing at decent prices. They call it a Vintage Market, definitely worth a look see.
