Charleston, South Carolina

This was our first time making it to Charleston South Carolina!

I know that Charleston gets compared to Savannah a lot, and I have been talking to a couple of friends lately about which of the two towns we liked better.  It is a very close call.

We didn't have time to cover Charleston as thoroughly as I would have liked to.  We were able to walk around some of the town, and we did visit the main forts, and Patriots Point.  More on those sites later.

Oddly (and unfortunately) we did have encounters with a few sales guys.  It wasn't as bad as what we have experienced in Gatlinburg, but man are these people a pain.  We have learned to be very careful about "visitor centers".

Charleston is a very comfortable city.  There is something very pleasant and comforting about seeing water as you drive around an area.

We did have a surreal experience while crossing a bridge in town.  While in the middle of the long bridge, a HUGE gust of wind gave my car quit a push on the side.  Well, me and EVERYONE ELSE slowed down by about 30 miles all at the same time!  It was a bit scary and strange.

In Charleston (and in the area around it) we really enjoyed a lot of sites.  I will mention those sites more soon, but for now, check out these random photos!
