Yesterday we had the perfect day. We were given a wine card for “Total Wine & More” located on 1820 Ashley River Road, Charleston, SC. This place was huge. We had already talked about which wines we wanted to buy and also figured we could buy 4 or 5 bottles. The prices for the wines we like were half the price of our wine store. It was incredible. We used the card to buy 8 bottles of great wine, mostly Chardonnays and also our favorite can never afford French Champagne “ Piper Heidsieck.” It is a great place to save money. The six pack of beer, “Stella Artois” was $6.99 where at home it is $12.99. Very much worth the hour trip from Beaufort.
Next we looked for lunch and ended up at Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill. What a Super Restaurant! It had lots of space plus lots of booths. Simply wonderful. The menu is extensive and includes Party Packs which would be great for Super bowl. The Smoked wings sounded so good we had to bring some home for the football game the next day. I had a stacked potato with a side salad and Texas Toast. It was stuffed with the most tender brisket this side of St. Louis. My husband had a soup and salad combo. He had a Caesar salad with Brunswick Stew. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was fun. We fell in love with it. We totally recommend Smokey Bones for lunch or dinner when you visit Charleston or if you simply live there and never tried it. . It is superb. We will be back. For other general information they have a build a burger concept which could easily become a heart attack waiting to happen.
After lunch we headed to the Guitar Center where you can play a $5000 guitar. The walls were covered with guitars of all sizes and shapes. They had amplifiers you could plug the guitars into. They had an acoustic room, a keyboard room, a room for drums and all kinds of guitar products. It was a lot of fun and the perfect way to end the perfect day.

Editors Note:
I lived in Charleston for two years and always heard great
things about some rooftop bars in the area. I was not old enough to go
to bars at this time as I was in college, but upon doing a quick search
on Charleston Rooftop Bars I found the Pavillion and a couple others
worth looking into. There was also a martini bar in the area with great
reviews named Squeeze. There a many fun, more upscale bars in the area
so you shouldn't have to much trouble and we wish you the most joyous New
Years!

Hi, about the Blue Herons, you do not have to find a place. Go anywhere!
I suggest the Cooper River because I have seen many over there. But you
can go anywhere near water and you will probably be able to catch a few
pictures.

My family is vacationing on Kiawah Island in a couple weeks and I am
looking for a photographer to take some photos of my 15 month old. We
may want some family shots as well, but she would be the focus. Would
like someone that focuses on children. Any thoughts would be
appreciated. Thanks!!!

Our first trip to CHarleston from Maryland a couple weeks ago. Had the
BEST Spinach and goat cheese salad at Southend Brewery.Have emailed and
hope to get the dressing recipe. Can anyone who has duplicated it share
with me? Highly recommended. Tuna dish at S.N.O.B. was a huge hit with
my husband. Ate almost exclusively in Historic Chas. Breakfast was in a
little bar/bistro with the most comfy chairs and delightful quiche and
stuffed french toast, with french music in the background on East Bay -
small place. What is the name???
