HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY

Today has been incredible, not only is it 66 and sunny in Charleston but I got to have lunch at one of my favorite spots in town, Poes. If you are ever visiting the lovely Charleston make sure to take a trip out to Sullivan's Island, not only are the barrier islands beautiful but they have great dives. My boyfriend found this photo of MLK and I thought it was too fantastic to not post. Nice to see that one of the best orators in history also knew how to let lose! Hope you all are enjoying your day off!

"This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day."
