We stopped in The Peanut Shop again, just like the one in Savannah, for lots of samples! We checked out a couple other shops, then found a Farmer's Market which was pretty cool! We got a smoothie called a Painkiller (excellent!) and also picked up some boiled peanuts to take home for Chels and Adam to try. Next we headed to the donut shop (that I, of course, found on Trip Advisor) - too late! Once they run out of donuts, they close! We continued on and did find the cupcake shop - well, Katelyn saw it - I would've walked right past it! It was called Cupcake downsouth. They were pretty good - we split a key lime, chocolate salted caramel, and red velvet. Then we headed back to Sandy.
We drove around the historical section of Charleston next - we saw the cobblestone streets, Rainbow Row (little houses that were different colors), and some other old houses. Katelyn and I also checked out the Pineapple fountain.
After that we started our drive home... we couldn't do a ten hour drive, so we stayed overnight at a Hampton Inn outside of Richmond, VA. Turns out we got a free night because there were some partiers that kept us awake. I complained in the morning and they said the night was on them because of their 100% satisfaction guarantee! (That was even cheaper than camping!!)
We had a really nice trip - I will say it was extremely humid and if we hadn't purchased the fans when we got to Savannah, we would've been very uncomfortable sleeping! I also want to purchase a rain flap - that way we could camp even if there is a chance of rain (which it seems like every night there was!). I may not choose to travel south again in the summer - who knows?? Originally, I had wanted to go to Florida! Maybe we could invest in an A/C unit for Sandy! :)
