Charleston, South Carolina Day 2

Monday morning SM and I went to the waterfront to take a ferry tour to Fort Sumter.

We spent an hour or so at the museum, learning about the first shorts fired in the Civil War.

Here's our ferry!


On the ferry tour.  It took about 30 minutes to get out to the island (Fort Sumter) and meanwhile we saw many different sites from the ferry.

Here's a photo of the very impressive bridge.

Here's a look of the waterfront of Charleston...so picturesque!  Beautiful!

There's Fort Sumter behind me.  The weather was overcast and a bit rainy but we still enjoyed ourselves, even if we were cold.



Look at those holes in the walls.


This is one of my favorite pictures that SM took while we were on the ferry.


Monday evening my brother finished up with work and went out with us to get a treat...or two.  We found a cupcake store.

Look how yummy!  SM loved his cupcake.

I don't like cupcakes very much but I love frozen yogurt and so we found a frozen yogurt place and we all got frozen yogurt.


We loved our time in Charleston.  We had a very yummy late lunch or early dinner and I tried boiled peanuts for my first time.  I found that I'm not really a fan of boiled peanuts.  But we had some yummy grits and Southern food.

I took a couple photos on the way back to Georgia...hoping to get a photo of Spanish moss and the atmosphere of South Carolina.
