Museum Mile

Today we purchased Museum Mile Passes, which gave us access to 13 museums and historical homes.  We toured the Children’s Museum of the Low Country, Charleston Museum, Aiken-Rhett House, and the Joseph Manigault house.  It was a great time!  I enjoyed learning a lot about Charleston’s history and to view these magnificent homes!  I was also excited to see a little red in the leaves!  Fall is my favorite time of year and I just love seeing the beginning of color!

Fishing with Dad

Looking for a freshwater fishing hole is not so easy in Charleston, most bodies of water are saltwater.  After driving around for a few hours, we finally headed to a place called Short Stay, which is a military campground.  We found a small catch and release pond so the kids could cast a line.  It was a cool, windy day and we were able to get a few bites. One of the last things that was pulled in was a small turtle.  The hook was stuck in his lip and Hiram felt so bad!  He said “Sorry, turtle!  I was fish-ing not turtle-ing!”
