Flew back Sunday night from a three-day weekend (with my middle son Neal) in Charleston, SC. Had a grand time and fit a ton of stuff in, including:
- A visit to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Factory restaurant, based on the movie I can barely stand Forrest Gump…
- The Patriots Point Maritime Museum, featuring the U.S.S Yorktown as well as other retired naval vessels…
- The Carolina Aquarium
- The Boone Hall Antebellum Plantation (where the miniseries North and South was filmed)
- The Charles Pickney house, one of the authors of the Constitution
- Charles Towne Landing, a historic park
- The Charleston Military Museum, featuring uniforms dating back to the War of 1812!
- Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War was fired
LOTS of pictures and some video are forthcoming, as well as some video. Stay tuned.
