CHARLESTON, SC

For my birthday my parents came to visit and the four of us (Mom, Dad, Austin and I) drove down to South Carolina. We stayed at a charming estate in Summerville, a town right outside of Charleston. We arrived on my birthday and had plans to go out to a nice dinner in the city. Little did I know Austin had a horse drawn carriage waiting for me to give us a tour of historic Charleston before taking us to dinner. When we were down one particularly cute and quiet alley way Austin got down on his knee in the carriage and proposed! Needless to say I was VERY surprised... and of course I said yes!! We had a wonderful dinner with my parents and celebrated with a nice bottle of champagne from Austin's family. The rest of the vacation was just as magical. We toured Magnolia plantation and its beautiful gardens, spent a day at Folly Beach and ate delicious steamed crab, and spent a few days exploring Charleston. We also met up with some family which was wonderful!
