If you have your cup-of-joe first in the morning (according to new studies) it may be too early.
This may be fine for some but I'll take my joe early just the same.

Thanks again Charleston SC, & Mt.Pleasant SC for another great event. The SweetGrass Cultural Arts Festival 2015 was another hot event. Not only was the weather hot but the event went over well.
Of course after the show King Street is the wife's favorite place.
There is also another spot I want to mention on Mt. Pleasant. We were heading back to the hotel and I mentioned that I would love a good Italian Dinner. No sooner than the words left my mouth we pass a restaurant on US-17 called Bacco.
Also Serment on Kingstreet is always great place for lunch. I also found Caviar & Bananas to be a good coffee spot while the wife get a pedicure and nail touch-up.
