Day 61
Dec. 11
Charleston, SC
Miss Smith
Today we had a light breakfast so we
wouldn’t be late to our tour. The tour we took was called “Savor the Flavors ofCharleston."
The streets were beautiful with the trees and all. Part of the
tour we got to sample some food. It was delicious.
The tour was two and a half
hours long. When the tour was over, we visited the gift store. I bought my mom
some hot pads cause she’s always losing them. Abigail bought a cookbook and
Cilla bought a chef’s hat. I have no idea where she is going to store it since
the RV is already pretty full. Abigail is going to embroider Priscilla's name on the hat.
We had a light lunch and drove to
the Fort Sumter office. Since the only way to get to the actual fort is by
ferry, we had to wait for the ferry to come back. While we were waiting, we
looked around at the museum they had.
Soon the ferry returned and we loaded
up. It was a nice day so Abigail and I rode on the open top of the ferry. Cilla
was afraid she would lose her “Mrs. Walton” hat so she stayed inside. While on
the ferry we saw some dolphins following it. All too soon we reached the
island. There was so much to see. The fort was exciting.
They had cannons, a
few museums and you could walk on the fort.

The museum was about the history of
the fort.

Sadly we had to leave after an hour. Riding back we talked about
everything we did that day and this time Cilla rode on top with us.
We listened to some Christmas music
on our way back to the cottage. We all sang along as we knew the words. We
spent another relaxing night at the cottage. My absolute favorite part of the
day was the ferry on our way to Fort Sumter.
Your friend,
