part II: an amazing week

After the plantation we at a  great little dive restaurant called Bowens Island Restaurant. Delish! Right on the water. Ate  at a table on the dock. Watched the sunset...saw dolphins...amazing!

The restaurant

Discarded oyster shells

The next day we drove into downtown Charleston and  took a carriage ride tour of the city. We saw amazing homes, beautiful gardens, churches galore and learned lots about the rich history of Charleston.

After our tour we spent the afternoon strolling King Street and mostly window shopping. After that we drove out to the beach.

Asher did not love the waves splashing on his feet. We are going to have to work on that. We had a nice dinner at home that night.

Monday morning we said goodbye and drove up to Myrtle Beach to check it out. If you are a fan of mini golf then Myrtle Beach is the place for you. I think we saw at  least 15  courses just driving down the main drag.

After Myrtle Beach we headed north to Wilmington, NC and Wrightsville Beach, NC ...we made a pit stop at the USS North Carolina.

Then we headed back home. We stopped at a stawberry farm on the way home to pick up some more deliciousness.

Tuesday we headed to lunch at  The Pit (famous for bbq). Once again Asher demonstrated his love for hushpuppies and for Kim.

After lunch we drove out to Duke University  to tour the chapel followed by more shopping.

Kim left us today and we were sad to see her go but the excitement continues as we leave on Friday to California to visit the California DelHoyo's,  friends from college and then meet up with most of my family at Disneyland!!!
