I took a couple picture from the dock and from the boat of the Port of Charleston stuff for Mike. Look honey, intermodal containers!
Here is a picture from the boat of another cool boat that looks like a pirate ship. We heard alot about the different pirates that were around the Charleston area...Blackbeard and the Gentleman Pirate.
Here is where we had dinner last night! It was cool to see it from the water. 
On the boat, trying to keep the hair under control!
Some of the cool homes on the harbor.
I took a bunch of pictures of the pelicans. This was one of the better ones.
Here is Fort Sumter. Apparently a whole bunch of historical stuff happened here. I guess google it to read more.

Here is a carrier, the Yorktown. There a bunch of pictures or planes for you Mike.
Here is a fishing boat in the background and a pelican that just dove into the water in the foreground. My timing was just a bit off!
The day that we arrived in Charleston an old WWII biplane crashed into the harbor and two people were killed. We saw them hauling the wreckage on the plane away. 
My new favorite bridge.
Here is Poogan's Porch. It is a restuarant, supposed to be really, good, also very haunted!
Here are two cool things. The first is earthquake bolts. The put in two poles, connect them in the middle, and slowly tighten them to keep old homes standing. The second is a fire things from the 1800's. You would buy fire insurance and they would mark your home. Then, if you had a fire, all the fire insurance people would come (aka firemen) but they would only fight the fire if there logo was on your house. Otherwise, tought luck!
This is the second oldest house in Charleston.
The old jail. Haunted tours are offered at night. Obviously, we will not be partaking in that!
We had dinner at the Noisy Oyster in Charleston. We had fried green tomatos for an appetizer and then shared a shrimp po boy for dinner. It was really tasty! The picture is of the tomatos for my grandma. 
After dinner we were beat, so decided to walk back to the car and head to the hotel. Of course, we had to stop at the outlet mall and check out ann taylor and gap. Well that led into more shopping, so we spent another hour wandering around there. After a quick stop for milk at the Chik-fil-a we are back! Trying to upload the photos and then climbing into bed to read.
