We are back from Charleston! Boy that was a great trip and we'd love to do it again. I uploaded all of our pictures onto my public photo album sorted by day, so go take a look and see what a great time we had. Hugs and I took some notes so we'd (I'd) remember to blog about all the highlights from it. So here's day 1:
Our flight was so so...we had a connection in Newark. Man, is that airport huge! I'm sure there are others larger, but for a bumpkin like myself, it's pretty huge. We landed alright in Charleston and got a free upgrade from an economy car to an SUV! Score! We went from a Geo Metro type vehicle to a Ford Escape...that was great.
We first went to the hotel and relaxed for a bit then drove down into Charleston which was about 20 minutes south. We just drove around and looked at the awesome houses. They were just spectacular. The whole downtown area is well taken care of, all the buildings were just beautiful to look at and we were only panhandled once our entire trip.
Then we were walking down by the river and saw dolphins, pelicans and some crazy looking seagulls. Yea, believe it or not they have dolphins in Charleston. And we saw them everyday that we were there! I was blown away.
Went to dinner at a barbecue place called Sticky Fingers and they asked us if we wanted to sit in smoking or non-smoking. Huh? Yea, sorry, we are tourists and Gestapo (The Children of the Light) back in Ohio outlawed smoking in restaurants. Not that either of us care, we can't tolerate second hand smoke, but it was just a surprise.
