Exploring Charleston
















We got up early this morning anticipation of visiting Charleston for the day. We enjoyed a nice early breakfast at the Sea Captains house and then pointed the 4 Runner south and headed to this historical city.

We listened to a nice sermon from Pastor Rand during our ride down and arrived in Charleston around 10:00 a.m. It was a beautiful and warm day. I would venture to say that the temperature was in the mid 70's. There was a call for rain, but it stayed dry and during there were periods of sunshine as well.

We walked through the historical market and then took a walking tour which took most of the afternoon. How fun was that? We had a map that had 100 places of history on it to visit. We saw about 75% of them. Everything from the Slave Market Museum where the slaves were sold to the City Hall, historical houses and even a Gun Powder Storage location. We took a lot of pictures. What we found really neat was the different doorways and knockers. They were quite interesting...

It was an awesome day! Charleston is really beautiful and worthy of a much more lengthy stay. We're getting pretty excited about our day tomorrow. We're golfing at the Man O War golf course. It's about a 30 minute drive from our condo.
