Charleston

We were sad to leave Myrtle Beach because we were having so much fun there, but we already had a reservation to stay in Charleston so we all hopped in the car and headed south.

We did a lot of driving on this trip, but the kids handled it pretty well because it was broken up quite a bit. They enjoyed the rental car, feeling like we had a new car.


Crossing the Cooper River into downtown Charleston across the new bridge that was finished in 2005. It is a beautiful structure!

Our first agenda for the day was to take the ferry out to Ft. Sumter, where the first shots of the civil war were fired in 1861.


Micah had fun exploring the old fort.

Ashlyn loves to mimic. If Mich got a picture like this, then she wants one too.

Checking out the cannons


Looking out to sea...

What a cutie!



Micah loved the boat ride out there. He enjoyed looking out a small hole near the front of the boat.



Back in Charleston, we drove down around Battery Park and then walked around the marketplace. Ashlyn loved all the horse-drawn carriages that she saw.

We finished our day with a ride on a bike taxi around historic Charleston.

The kids always love a ride on the luggage cart at hotels.
