Charleston, SC

Last week, my parents drove down from WI and took our family on a weekend getaway to Charleston, SC. It was a great weekend and the city is amazing. The only complaint any of us have is that we didn't have near long enough to enjoy the countless historical and scenic attractions. This truly is a great city.


Original homes- 1700's


Cobblestone brought over from Britain pre-revoluation


Original building exemplifying the disk earthquake repairs (see side of buildings). These disks were used with rods to pull buildings back together again after the earth quake of ???? (I don't remember, but it was a LONG time ago), b.c the city was too poor to tear down and rebuild. Obviously they worked!


AND... the girls past the traveling test. They did WONDERFUL. Slept like champs and were troopers through all the "site seeing"
