Medical University of South Carolina

Alex and I used my most recent interview as a perfect excuse for a vacation getaway to Charleston, South Carolina!  The interview was at the Medical University of South Carolina.  It was a great program, but my favorite part of our stay was exploring the town.  We spent the majority of our time eating, of course, and the rest of our time admiring the beautiful homes.

We stayed at the beautiful Francis Marion hotel.  It was all decorated for Christmas!
  
Our pretty room!
    
Our first day was very rainy, but it did not stop us from walking down the gorgeous streets.
    
The second day was much better :)
  
We walked over to the historic Charleston City Market and bought some yummy spices.
  
  
We had she-crab soup at every restaurant.  It is a new favorite.
  
 We were only in Charleston for forty-eight hours, but managed to eat forty-eight raw oysters on the half shell between the two of us!  The Charleston City Market is behind us in this picture.
     
We took a carriage tour after lunch and got to see historic Charleston and hear the amazing history of the city.
     
We had a great tour guide!  Our horse was named Magic.

We loved the houses.

We drove over to Sullivan's Island on this pretty bridge to visit the beach.
  
We walked along the beach until we could see Fort Sumner.
  
It was a fun trip!
