Day 58 – Side Trip to Charleston, SC

Day 58 of #BoxsterRoadTrip was an excursion to Charleston, South Carolina.

IMG_3707IMG_3711IMG_3714I am going to tell the day in pictures (pretty much).  We left Hilton Head around 9:00 am and headed off to Charleston, SC.  First stop in Charleston was at Drayton Hall, a house built in the “lowcountry”, that pre-dates the Revolutionary War!  Even the “outhouse” was brick and followed the same symmetrical architecture (and had a fireplace!).

IMG_3735IMG_3739IMG_3741In order to get to Fort Moultrie, we had to cross a rather large bridge called the Arthur Ravenel Jr Bridge.  Jo knew this was coming, so she made sure Steve was driving.  This bridge was a doozy!

 

 

IMG_3768IMG_3766Since we started the day in the lowcountry, we decided to end it there, so we went to A Lowcountry Backyard for dinner.  Another great restaurant with very friendly folks working there!  Jo managed to spill Steve’s drink (a Lemon Shine – effectively moonshine and lemonade) and they insisted on replacing it for him.  We finished the meal off with a Banana Pudding, which we highly recommend!

A great end to a lovely (and exhausting) day.

The journey continues . . .
