Charleston, Day 4

Our fourth day in Charleston turned out to be a bit of a wash... literally. We awoke to gray skies but decided to travel the 30-45 minute drive out to a local winery. On the way we were bombarded by a fierce thunder storm. We were a little worried about the flooding in the low lying areas around Charleston, and figured that the winery tour wouldn't be all that fun in the pouring rain, so we decided to return to Charleston sans local wine.

Our outing wasn't a complete failure... we were able to find the Charleston Crab House that was flipped on "Flip This House" on TLC (now "The Real Estate Pros" on A&E).


Here you see the now famous building complete with upside down sign to signify the flip.

We then ventured downtown to a little place called "Cupcake"... and purchased the BEST tasting cupcakes EVER!! We tried to purchase the giant bowl of frosting, but it wasn't for sale. That was probably for the best, though.

As we made our way through flooded Charleston (some of the streets had 1-2 feet of water covering them) we located another famous sight... the downtown storefront of Trademark Properties! (For those of you who don't watch "Flip This House" or "The Real Estate Pros" Trademark Properties is the company featured on the show.)


We kept an open eye, but we didn't spot Richard, Ginger, or the rest of the gang, but we still had a great day.
