My first class finished this morning, and we drove to beautiful Charleston this afternoon. We have a great room on the Cooper River with a great view.
Tonight we ate at one of my favorite places…Sticky Fingers. It was time to baptize Karsten into one of his papa’s favorites. We shared some wonderful ribs together, and he enjoyed himself thoroughly. I unfortunately failed to get a picture of his satisfied smile.
We also took an hour-long carriage ride through historic and blooming Charleston. Though it was really warm it was enjoyable, and you don’t really know a city until you’ve taken a carriage ride.
We also drove by Patriot’s Point to see the outside of the USS Yorktown. Maybe we will tour it tomorrow. It’s about 1/4 mile from our hotel. But the major item on the agenda tomorrow is to spend some time enjoying the salt water and the ocean breeze. It’s been hot enough that we should probably start early and then go back early evening. At about 9:30p tonight, we ran out (it’s about 30 feet) and had the pool to ourselves for 45 minutes. Karsten demonstrated bravery as he fought his fears.
We get very few opportunities like this, and we’re enjoying it.
Here are some pictures of our day, and then the view of part of the spectacular and unique bridge connecting us (we’re in Mount Pleasant) to Charleston…
