2006 Charleston SC

We started our first day walking around downtown Charleston. Went through a couple historical houses such as the Aiken Rhett house.

Later in the day we headed to the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens.

Gina had been begging me the entire trip to "please, please, please take me to the Yorktown so I can be immersed in the smell of old military stuff and get a first hand look at an aircraft carrier" so I gave in on our second day and took her. Ok that may not be exactly how it went down but we did wind up at the Yorktown.

The very cool looking Cooper River Bridge. Note I digitally removed some of the old bridge remains and de-construction equipment.

"I'm so happy you brought me here to the Yorktown and I want to see every nook and cranny of this ship, just let me look through the Yorktown visitors brochure and figure out what order I want see everything in".

87 pounds of shortening?!? No wonder they say Navy life is so dangerous.

"I'm having so much fun I need to stop and catch my breath for a minute..."

After Gina got her fill of old military stuff we spent some more time just walking around downtown Charleston. This is the market - an interesting collection of street vendors selling just about anything you can imagine.

Went back to the Magnolia plantation one evening to try and get some pictures with better light.
