We finally made our long weekend trip to Charleston. We saw a lot of great things and of course ate some seafood. Places we went: The Battery, Rainbow Row, Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon, Slave Mart, The Pineapple Fountain, Shem Creek, Mcleod Plantation, Foely Beach, Sullivans Island, Fort Sumpter, Fort Moultrie, The Market, Churches, McClellanville, & Patriots Point Naval Museum on the USS Yorktown. Places we ate, Vickeries, Red Drum, Saltwater Cowboys, take out from a BBQ joint, had just a drink @ Poe's (they were so busy). It was 85 degrees the first 2 days, and then in the 50's & 60's. Perfect as far as we were concerned. Here are a few pictures from the trip. Thank you all for your trip suggestions and a big thanks to "bridges" for all his great info.

I like the horse drawn carriage and the USS Yorktown most.

I made it all the way up into the bow where the Hawseholes were.

Did one West Pac deployment on the old “One Nothin” in ‘68 (Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club). Took the grandkids once.
Charleston is a fascinating place.
Thanks.

Great set. Love the bridge. I was down there a few months ago for the second time. Loved it. Stayed in my camper at the boat launch right up the river from the bridge.

Wonderful trip! Glad you got to see so much. Nice photo of the carrier. I flew off her sister ship, the Wasp, during the early 60s.
