This first shot is of Hominy Grill, were everyone stands in line around 9:00 AM which is the time they open for brunch on weekends. This is where we ate Saturday morning. After walking back to the house, which is just around the corner, we read and rested, and then took off for some touring and exploring. Our first stop was the Visitor Center, and it is in this area we saw some Spanish Moss on the trees. We made our way across the big bridge and to Patriots Point. We didn't do the tour this time because we had stayed on the Yorktown with our cub scout son, Ben just a few years ago. It is something to see, especially if you like WWII planes. I got to meet two WWII vets, and one was on a sub for 20 years. My thanks to them and all who served our country. We then made our way to Fort Moultrie and to Sullivan's Island. That is where we saw hundreds of jellies on the beach. I have captured two here for your viewing pleasure. The last shot is of a couple houses on Folly Beach (from the beach) with the FB water tower behind. It looks like a nice little beach. There were folks enjoying the life there in town although it is nowhere near the real summer season. Speaking of summer, I am about ready for it since we have had a little taste of it.

Wow, didn't know you guys were in Charleston..one of our favorite citys also. We have also enjoyed Patriots Point. Kev has spent many nights on the Yorktown and we last toured her with his grandfather. James was amazed at the ship. The sub there was a little daunting for Bev and I dont know if I could have stayed on one for months at a time. "Excuse me ma'am could have have another order of shrimp and grits"?
I asked the vet who lived on a sub for 20 years if he ever got claustrophobia, and he said no. I am sure I would have bumped by head until it looked somewhat like the surface of a golf ball.
some great shots!!
