Charleston!!!!!!

So we got a free trip to Charleston and it was about to expire. It was beautiful and neither of us wanted to come home. We had never been there before, so most of our weekend was spent at The Market, the shopping area. This is the area where slaves used to be traded years ago. Now there booths where people bring things they make and sell them. Next time we will visit Folley Beach and some Plantations. There are a ton of wonderful places to eat, I only wish we could have visited every one. We picked a restaurant and ate, then left and found another restaurant we wanted to eat in. We hung out in a bar, that used to be a church! Now that is crazy. There were still the stained glass windows and everything. I can't wait to go back!

This was our first stop. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. for dinner. They had the best shrimp I think I have ever eaten. By the way, I am not tipsy. Again, difficult to take a picture of yourself.

We thought this looked just like a pirate ship.

Still trying to perfect the art of taking pictures of ourselves.

This girl was giving samples of her Italian Ice. Great idea! It was so hot, I could not resist buying one.

GQ Frank in front of a really beautiful hotel.

The funniest thing happened. We were walking, as we had been doing all day. A boy on a bike came up and asked if I wanted to buy a flower made from grass. I said, "No thanks". His response was, "Here you can have them all." He handed them to me and rode off on his bike. Weird!
