One of the main reasons we "chose" to move to Augusta was because of the close proximity to many east coast cities that we have always wanted to visit. Savannah and Charleston topping the list. This week my Grams (visiting from Missouri), my Aunt B (visiting from New Mexico), Baby J, and I took a 2 day trip to Charleston, South Carolina.
