Charleston

While we were at Kiawah we couldn't resist a day trip to Charleston. We headed to lunch on Shem Creek (our favorite spot) and then to explore the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier. Driving over the bridge from Charleston to Mt. Pleasant was fun for us all and seeing it from the distance was just as cool. The girls enjoyed the aircraft carrier and all the planes on display.
As we were walking through the chapel, which didn't contain much at all, Noah and I were discussing religion in the military and the chapel and whatnot. Savanna had just asked what the altar was used for and the next thing we knew Sadie was knelt down with her prayer hands. What a memorable spontaneous moment!
Then we walked through the submarine. That is definitely not the place for me! It must take a special person to live underwater in tight quarters such as those we toured. We couldn't be in Charleston and not head downtown to see what it had to offer. Most of the attractions were closed but a walk down King Street, dinner at Bubba Gump's, and then playing in the fountain at the waterfront park ended a very long and fun day for us all.
