Burns Boys + 1: South Carolina Trip

South Carolina trip should be typed in BRIGHT RED - that's how hot it was there. Every single day the heat index took the temperature over 100, usually around 110 or 115. Crazy hot! With the cost of airfare - I decided we needed to see a bunch of South Carolina before we saw Michael graduate! It was fun but I don't recommend August to future vacationers.

We started the trip at Patriot's Point

We took a Ferry out to Ft Sumter where the first shots of the
Civil war were fired. This is a beautiful huge bridge that
we used 2 to 3 times every day when we were in Charleston

USS Yorktown

D on the Ferry

Ft. Sumter

T loved all things civil war era based in the museum including
this original flag

Next we went to the Aquarium which is located on the wharf
in Charleston. T is trying to be a fish (I think)

Edisto Island Beach is one of the best shell collecting
beaches of the Atlantic

From Myrtle Beach we took a jeep safari trip to see
natural wildlife, slave houses and plantations.
The water behind the two very tired and hot boys is
where alligators live.

American Alligator's eyes popping up out of the water

Part of the safari trip took us to a "haunted
graveyard" You'll have to ask T the story
of circling Alice's grave and offering a
ring to her to get your wish to come true

North Myrtle Beach

We went looking for a root beer store
that went out of business, but we found
a candy store & Michael called while we
were on the board walk - that made up
for the missing rootbeer (T loves root beer)
