The last two days had been consumed by very long days of driving so today was our day to slow the roll and relax. The morning was spent sleeping in & cleaning the interior of the Airstream. After having spent almost a week camped in an old corn field behind the Airstream factory it really needed it. Today was also laundry day. I had to sprint back and forth to the bath house/laundry room between showers today just to get the clothes washed we need to get us through the rest of the week.
Once the campground was just about dried out and cabin fever had set in Tim and I took a bike ride through the entire park to see what all was here. This is an amazing park that has so much to offer. Bike riding, doggie yappy park, golf frisbee course, rock climbing wall, fishing pier, Splash Zone Water Park, salt marsh, festivals, paddle boats, crabbing and the Festival of Lights during the holidays. So much to do and very little time.
After our bike ride we decided to drive to 'town' with Roxy to see what our options would be for parking on our day visit later in the week. I have been here prior but Tim has not. The best I could describe it to him was to compare it to St. Augustine with a twist of Key West then add a few colleges to the mix. So off we all went in Tim's big truck to the historic downtown Charleston, SC. We needed to decide if we could park in town or would we be better off taking the shuttle from the park. First of all the streets are VERY NARROW and if you could make a turn it was a one way street going the wrong way or someone pulled to far forward on the cross street so we couldn't turn OR the street was just too narrow to drive. Charleston is a gorgeous and amazing place. Keep in mind this place was built for horse drawn carriages. Cobble stone and brick streets lined with the most amazing southern majestic mansions one could imagine.
(I use to work right next door)
Tomorrow we have a few other places to visit on this expedition so I will get better pictures of historic Charleston later in the week. Just the history alone is a lot to consume and take in. We have a full day ahead . . . I can't wait!!!
