NC Trip - Part III - The City

I love Wilmington, NC.  We've been there many times, so enjoyed our stay at the Blockade Runner and eating at Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn.

 3-7-12 - Wrightsville Beach is the best

Our next stop was Charleston, NC.  We started with the Charles Pinckney National Historic site, the highlight of which, for me, was this lizard.  Just kidding, Pinckney was the youngest delegate to help draft our constitution and was an institution in South Carolinian politics.  Did you know that South Carolina was the first to secede from the union?

 3-7-12 - Reincarnation of Charles Pinckney?

The next day, we rode the ferry to Fort Sumter.  What an amazing ride.  You see the city, the forts, dolphins, and seagulls who keep pace at eye-level right with your boat.

 3-8-12 - Mine!

3-8-12 - Entering Sumter

3-8-12 - View from the battery

3-8-12 - We went to Fort Moultrie too.  Awesome.

I really loved Charleston.  It wasn't my first time there, but downtown is so vibrant.  We enjoyed Market Street and King Street.  It helped that the weather cleared up and soared into the 70's.  I laugh as I look back at all of our beach pictures with Alison in her winter coat and hat.
