After rolling through the better half of North Carolina, I woke up in Goldsboro and wondered what to do next. As I'm a Westerner through and through, I’m not really familiar with the Southeast US. I was out of ideas and before heading directly to Hoka Hey for my Thursday registration-in I needed to pick another’s brain. I called my good friend Adriana, who just so happens to be the reason why I’m writing all this stuff to y’all in the first place. (Quick Reminder: She’s the Marketing Director for Lake Weir Living – my Hoka Hey Sponsor.)
Adriana is no stranger to adventure and has definitely spent a good chunk of her life traveling around our beautiful country; from coast-to-coast that girl has lived -- a natural traveler like me.
Without skipping a beat, she points me in the direction of Charleston, SC. She set-it-all-up! A charming B&B called The Anchorage Inn. We both got a real kick out of that, seeing how I'm from Anchorage, and she once lived there (Alaska that is).
Anyway, like I mentioned before the towns seem to blur together however if you have visited Charleston even briefly like I have, you can't help but have a lasting impression. Just walking around brings you back in time and your thoughts wonder as you navigate narrow brick and stone lined streets. Looking all around, gawking – really – like a tourist at all the homes, buildings, and churches to name a few. Seeing places like this makes me want to return, and really spend some quality time getting to know Charleston and its folks better.
Thanks, Adriana, for the destination and the accommodations. Well done!!!
