Welcome to my blog! My name is mckee, and me and my hubby live in WNC, in the mountains. We love to travel, and our two favorite places in the whole world right now, are TN and Charleston. We honeymooned in Charleston, and loved it! I have very deep southern, low country roots. I was born to the best mama anyone could ask for, in Florence, SC. I am proud to say, that my grandfather on my daddies side, was Melvin Purvis, the F.B.I agent that got dillinger, pretty boy floyd, and many others. I have a lot of prominent people in my family and you will hear about them from time to time, and see pictures, because one of my fave past times is genealogy.
You will also read about my obsession with Charleston, I would live there if I could! I remember going there with my family as a child, but I just started loving it like I do in the past few yrs. Hubby and I love to find the places not many tourists know about. I love going to the Provost Dungeon, and I just recently learned that I am a direct descendant of James Pritchard, my grandfather who was the justice of the piece and sheriff in Edisto county in the 1700's. During the revolutionary war, he gathered up 30 men and formed a militia. The British arrested them and put them in chains in the Provost dungeon on November 15th, 1780. On November 16th, 1780 my grandfather died in chains in that dungeon, and no one knows how. I would love to find out!
I will also share places to stay, products, good places to eat, graveyards and places to visit. I made this blog because I love the low country, and everything about it, and I want to share my love with every one else. So, I will leave you with a picture from our recent trip to Charleston that my Husband took. It is a picture of the Pineapple fountain, in the water front park in downtown Charleston. It symbolizes hospitality, which is perfect, because I have never met an inhospitable soul in Charleston.
