Charleston, SC

For Kris' spring break my mom was able to get us 2 nights stay in Charleston. We have been told by numerous people that it is a "must see" while you are in the South. Our first stop there was the South Carolina Aquarium. I guess I haven't been to too many aquariums but I expected more than what I got. It was neat, don't get me wrong, but I'm pretty sure that there are better ones out there for the same price or less. Anyway, it was fun to pick up the star fish and see a bunch of fish and turtles.

This is an albino alligator. You don't find these in the wild very often because when one is born they usually don't survive for very long because of their sensitivity to light.

Good thing I've already found my prince charming because this kiss didn't get me anything;)

We went to the Boone Hall Plantation which neat. At it's largest it was about 4,000 acres. I think it's around 700-800 acres now. The first house built there was in 1790. I learned that back in the day ladies weren't supposed to show their ankles and if a man did see her ankles he was obligated to ask for her hand in marriage. Oh how times have changed.

This is the USS Clamagore. We got to walk through it and I'm so glad that I don't have to live on a submarine. Talk about close quarters! If I had to be on one I'd like to be the Captain. He is the only one who gets his own room. The crew got to sleep in shifts so they would share their bed with 2 or more other people.

This is the USS Yorktown. It's a ship that is now a museum.
Cheese! This is on the ferry that takes you to Fort Sumter. Notice the tear in his eye, it was pretty windy.


Folly Beach, SC

This is Denzil's first trip to the beach. I think he enjoyed himself. Too bad I forgot his swimsuit.


Fort Moultrie, Mt. Pleasant, SC

This fort had some Revolutionary War significance. Fort Sumter sits on an island across from this fort.
