Charleston, SC







We left Lake Toxaway on Wednesday morning and after about a five hour drive we arrived in Charleston. The RV park in Lake Toxaway was unbelievable. They are called Outdoor Resorts and are more like a finely groomed neighborhood then a RV park. This morning we went downtown and took a tour on Grey Line of Charleston and a boat out to tour Fort Sumter. If you remember that is where the first shot was fired in the Civil War. Charleston is a very quaint old and beautiful city. Their historic part is mostly made up of buildings that are older then our country as a nation. The day was beautiful but a little cold, 60 degrees, and a wind out of the north. Tomorrow we will return to downtown and visit more of the old mansions that this city is famous for. Also want to check out several islands and beach's in the area. Also hope to have dinner at one the the great restaurants in the historic district that are more of a house then a restaurant. We will visit a southern plantation on our way out down to Savannah. We have reservations at another Outdoor Resorts on Hilton Head Island where we will stay until at least Monday. Will update you then. Kathy is already working on her Christmas card list and as you know it includes almost everyone listed in the white pages.
