Charleston

We drove out to the coast and spent a couple of days in Charleston. We loved the city and the history that is there.

Tristan really liked his Auntie and Uncle. He wouldn't let go of Cammy's hand.

Everywhere you looked there were carriage tours.

We saw this restaurant and had to take Tristan's picture by it.

Not to feel left out, we took Wade's picture by his name, too! :)

We walked through a big public market. Think Pike's Place Market without the seafood and fresh flowers. There were several places where these women were weaving sweet grass baskets.

Fort Sumter is off in the distance...not really visible on this picture.

Beautiful bridge!

This waterfront park had swings!

South Carolina is the Palmetto State because of these beautiful Palmetto trees.

This is the Battery where Confederate troops shot the first cannons of the Civil War at Fort Sumter.

Crossing the bridge

We went and toured this aircraft carrier, the USS Yorktown. There are 2 USS Yorktowns, but one sank. This is the one that didn't sink. They made it into a big museum with a tour of the ship.

I love this picture of Wade looking over the side of the ship.

This is one of the jets on the carrier. The F-18. Jason's friend Chris flies this plane, although I'm sure his is a little newer.

Sitting in the Captain's chair.

We also toured this sub.

Very tight quarters!

This destroyer was also part of the tour. This is like the one Jason's dad was on!
