I always love working with my good friend and AMAZING photographer, Gary Coleman!  So when he called and asked if I’d help him cover this fun corporate event for Westinghouse, I jumped on it!

Besides, the company outing was going to start out with a tour of one of my favorite places in town…the Charleston Tea Plantation.  I don’t do coffee.  But I LOVE a good tea!  It just amazes me that the only operating tea plantation in the USA is right here in Charleston!  Their tours are always fun.  And Bill, the owner, is full of fun stories, and always up for a good laugh!

From the tea plantation, the tour continued on to Irvin House Vineyard and Firefly Distillery.  This is the only vineyard in Charleston.  And of course the famous Firefly sweat tea with Vodka needs no introduction.  I take my alcohol just like my coffee…don’t touch the stuff.  But it was a hoot watching everyone “loosen up” and really enjoy their afternoon together!!!  🙂
