Charleston, South Carolina - you never disappoint.  48 hours wasn't nearly enough time for us to investigate, explore and eat all that this amazing city has to offer.

Did I mention the incredible food in Charleston?

Thanks to a referral from a friend, we dined at the Oyster House for our first meal in Charleston.  There were four of us and the whole menu looked amazing but in the end, we decided to share a couple of steam buckets.  This was the night that my daughter-in-law learned that our family has no boundaries when it comes to sharing food. 🤣  Have you ever tried to share a single ear of corn with someone?  Armed with only a butter knife, I was unsuccessful at my attempts to saw it in half and cutting the kernels off the cob proved to be disastrous.  🌽 🤣  Needless to say, the mutilated ear of corn that was left after my struggle to separate it into two equal portions, was less than appetizing.  😅 #sheateitanyway

I shared a steam bucket of crab legs, sausage, potatoes and of course, corn.  And despite my corn on the cob debacle, it was delicious.  I'm a sucker for fresh seafood but I also love all the things that accompanies a great seafood meal.  🥔  I hope that I'm not the only person who finds salty, roasted potatoes - utterly irresistible.  😅  

Now that I have an oven with an air fryer function - I've been making a lot more crispy potatoes at home.  Sometimes to compliment our seafood dinner and sometimes - just because I really love salty, crispy potatoes.  😂

Charleston is amazing but without a doubt, the best part of the whole weekend was attending the wedding of a man that we've known since he was an uninhibited 7 year old.  I'm still not sure how in the world he grew up so fast but it was wonderful to see him marry the love of his life.
