In an effort to get to know the historical side of the city a bit more, we took the opportunity to do a Guided Historic Walking Tour of downtown Charleston. We lucked out with getting the tour guide all to ourselves and were able to cover quite a bit of ground in two hours. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed soaking in both the sunshine and new knowledge as we traipsed around cobblestone streets gawking at stunning historical churches and homes.
On Saturday we hosted our first visitor! Al’s brother Andrew was able to drive down from Virginia and we enjoyed a weekend of history, great food, and a Packers win (Go Pack Go!). The Fort Sumter tour included a thirty minute ferry ride to and from the Fort which allowed us to take in some great scenery and scan for Ocean life. Once inside the Fort, we were able to spend an hour discovering the space where the first shots of the Civil War rang out.
Hi Mom!
