The drive down from New Bern (Mar.24th) was fun LOL took pictures and did several double back to take some funny pictures in Maysville, NC. We arrived in Charleston Wednesday and checked into the Marriott Courtyard Waterfront with beautiful views of the harbor and marina...the hotel is older and could use some upgrades. Had dinner down in the Historic district at Hyman's Seafood...great dinner, Ken has eaten here before. So good we didn't have room for desert so plan to return tomorrow for lunch and desert.
On the way driving to historic area we hit a large bump in the road and the trailer hitch jumped off the ball so we had to pull over and fix that at least it didn't totally come apart. Then the next morning (Mar.25th) we noticed a nail in the right rear tire so got that fixed on the way out of Charleston. The shop we stopped at didn't even charge for fixing the tire.
Thursday morning we spent several hours walking around historic Charleston...weather was perfect and we did some shopping. I loved the Sawgrass Baskets the natives make and watched them making them as they were selling them...bought a few for gifts. Had lunch at Hyman's as planned...just a sandwich so we could have one of their fabulous deserts...I had a great Key West Lime Pie...Ken had the American favorite apple pie a la mode. Checked into Hampton Inn, Savannah...Ken needed to work on the trailer hitch.
