Charleston

After leaving Asheville we stopped at William B Umstead Park for some quick site seeing.The lake at the park was absolutely beautiful and there are plenty of hiking trails to do. I can only imagine how breathtaking it would be in the month of October when the leaves change colors. 

Our next destination was Charleston, South Carolina and I had picked out the beautiful  Angel Oak Park  to visit. I was anticipating a bit of walking and stretching my legs, but it is more of a park and sight see type of place. EIther way, the park is beautiful and the tree is incredible. Anticipate a lot of tourists while you are there. We were not able to get any pictures without tourists in them unfortunately. 

 

After the visiting the park we checked into our hotel, King Charles Inn. This is the only "nicer" hotel we stayed in during the whole trip. It was worth every penny because it was a great way to relax after a very active and busy trip. We were able to sleep in and since we were staying downtown we could walk to everything (PERFECT for after a week of being in the car) We did a lot of sight seeing down by the waterfront which was only five minutes from the hotel. The scenery reminded me a lot of my hometown Sarasota. 






We stayed in Charleston for two nights and then started the journey back to Orlando, FL. Below is a screen shot of our entire trip we planned out on Roadtrippers. I definitely suggest this website for anyone interested in planning a roadtrip! It will keep you organized and ensure you see everything you want to see. 

Let me know if you have any questions about any of the places! :)
