Finally, a post for our last day in Charleston! Thursday, March 29 began with a tour of the Nathaniel Russell House. I loved this house - The architecture, the gardens, the staircase and the inside shutters!
The structure of this house is divided in three shapes: a rectangle front entrance, oval center, and a square back section.

| Gold detail was added to the windows in place of curtains or drapes. |

| I am in love with these shutters!! |

After the house tour, we had lunch at Jestine's Kitchen. I had fried shrimp and okra with a side of pickled cole slaw.
That ended our time in Charleston. Before going home we took a detour to Beaufort, SC. The NPS is in the process of opening a new Reconstruction Era National Monument. Although the building is not yet opened to the public, they have a stamp available at the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, which is across the street.

| Beaufort also has some pretty houses! |
