JANUARY 21-22, 2007---------
Bob was in charge of planning little 2-3 day trips in the Carolinas and Georgia, and he was taking this responsibility very seriously. He planned a trip to Beaufort, SC, a small community located between Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, SC and about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Aiken.When we went to bed on Saturday night, I really wasn't in the mood for a roadtrip the next morning, so we decided not to go. When I awoke on Sunday morning, it was bright and sunny, although chilly, but for some reason it energized me and I was ready to quickly pack 
and get on the road. Bob, being so agreeable as usual, had no problem. We each packed an overnight case in case we found a neat place to stay.
and get on the road. Bob, being so agreeable as usual, had no problem. We each packed an overnight case in case we found a neat place to stay.When we arrived in Beaufort, we were immediately impressed with all the antebellum homes in the historic district - we didn't think we had ever seen so many truly antebellum structures in such a small area. We had been 
particularly interested in The Rhett House Inn, a B&B that was listed in our Select Registry book. We headed over there immediately as it was the middle of the afternoon already and we weren't certain there would be availability in case we wanted to stay the night.

We headed over there immediately as it was the middle of the afternoon already and we weren't certain there would be availability in case we wanted to stay the night. Fortunately, several rooms were available and we had our pick. We decided on Room #10 at 
the back of the mansion because it was quite large, had a great bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, and a screened-in porch overlooking the garden and patio in the backyard. The parlor was very inviting with a fireplace that made the room smell wonderful. There were cookies, lemonade, and tea, as well as a cheese platter later in the afternoon. We spent the afternoon on a 
carriage tour of the neighborhood and then had dinner in the historic downtown area. We saved room for dessert that was served back at the B&B and we weren't sorry. There were 3-4 desserts to chose from and each one was delicious.

Steve Harrison, the owner, was very personable and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The breakfast the next morning was 
wonderful and the dining room was lovely. We hope to return sometime when it's warmer so we can enjoy the cuisine at a white tableclothed table on the front veranda.
