We Spent Some Time In Charleston, SC



At the Charleston Place Hotel


Went out to Fort Sumter


The cannon were impressive


This is the first story of the original Fort Sumter. The fort was virtually destroyed during the Civil War. The higher stories collapsed into this section, saving it from ruin, and this is what you can see after the ruins were excavated.


The original fort was multi-story and the top was as high as the highest flag pole.


Spent shells can still be seen embedded in the walls of the fort.


The Boone Plantation (no relation to Daniel).


The Boone Plantation boasts an impressive drive lined with Live Oaks.

Charleston is a beautiful city drenched in history, filled with restored antebellum homes and good food. Worth a trip to see
