We went to Charleston yesterday and had a fantastic time. I have to do this with Chris when he comes home. It would take one a week just to see everything. Tons of museums,historical sights,water fronts,fountains,parks,shopping,tours, and so much more.I don't have tons of pictures because I forgot my SD card for my camera so I was limited on pictures. 
One of the oldest Churches in the city
Loving the hat. Last night she even wore it to bed. When she was asleep I pulled it off for fear she would get tangled up in the strings.
We went to the Open Air Market. It was cool to say that we experienced it. A lot of Marsh grass and pine needle baskets and other nic nacks. I fell in love with a home made teddy bear made out of Alpaca hair. So so so soft. I did have pictures of the market but later erased it for more family picture. I figure next time I go down there That stuff will still be there, but mom won't be.
Ashley Blvd.Waterfront Mansions are on this road.
We took a carriage ride that was fantastic. It was an hour long and definitely a must do thing when in Charleston.We went down Rainbow Drive.Back in the day this area was a run down bad part of town. A rich family bought the house and remodeled it. Then showed it off to their rich friends who quickly bought the other houses and did the same things.At the time they were waterfront. I think is what the guide said. The photographer back in the day took a picture of the houses but since they only had black and white film the photographer described the beautiful houses as the colors of rainbows. The name stuck.Sorry no pictures of it though. SD card thing again,limited space for pictures on internal memory of the camera. AND yes I hear some of you giggling of my own forgetful internal memory.HA!!!
One of the horses at the Carriage ride. Our carriage was pulled by mules though.It didn't matter. you don't really see much of the horses anyway. Your looking at the scenery the whole time.
The store front of a nice restaurant.
I know Chris will want to check out this ship.
This is down an alley that they say is the most haunted in Charleston. There were a lot of Duels in the alley. They say it's the only street back in the day that you couldn't see a church steeple, and they said that god couldn't see you if you where in this alley So a lot of bad things happened here.That was according to the lady who had a shop right next door to it.Our tour guide said that in duels they rarely shot anybody.It didn't look good to have killed someone. So what they would do was to shoot up into the air. You where considered brave if you showed up at all.

We went to James Island near Charleston. They had 3 miles of lights. I wish I could have taken more pictures. Since I forgot my SD card at home and attempted to buy another one and it didn't work. These are all that I could take. We loved it so much we did the tour twice.This is one of my Favorites.
They had a Santa rest area where the kids meet Santa, ride the carousal,roast marshmellows,shop,and drink hot chocolate.It started sprinkling so we only got to look around,ride the carousal,and sip hot chocolate.We wanted to beat the crowd back to the car if it started to rain harder. It didn't, so I feel bummed out that Leia didn't get to do it all.But she got to see the big man himself the day before.The roasting of the marshmellow would have been very nice. They had an open fire in a kettle where the kids could roast their own. So tonight if it's not raining,I'll light up the old Chimanaya and we'll roast marshmellows and drink hot coco. And there won't be a long crowded line to do it. YEAH!!!
