We went to Charleston for the first half of spring break. Jordan had a rehearsal for his play so we left after is practice was over. After we checked into the hotel, we headed downtown to eat and go on a ghostwalk.
Walking around Charleston in the dark talking about ghost is a little spooky especially when you are walking through graveyards.
This is an alley in Charleston where duels took place. A doctor was killed in a duel in this alley. He would walk down the street whistling an unique tune. They say you can still hear him whistle. In the house he use to live in, the humor is that you can hear him walking upstairs whistling especially when the children that live in the house are sick. Remember he was a doctor.
We walk through one of the graveyard in Charleston. There was a full moon that night. We heard stories about people who were buried there.
So after the ghostwalk, we had to use the bathroom. They gave us a key and said it was the first black door on the right.
This is the sign on the door.
We did a walk tour of Charleston. After living in Charleston for 3 years, it was funny being a tourist. But at least we know our way around.
The 3 sister houses
I love this picture of the boys looking up at the houses.
When I lived in Charleston, I went to First (Scots) Presbyterian Church on Tradd Street. So we went inside so Jordan could see my old church.

You can park your car or horse in front of this house.

Hunter at the four corners of law
The boys sitting in the pew that George Washington sat in one Sunday long ago.
I tortured Hunter by taking this picture of him in front of his friends. You can tell the expression of complete joy on his face.
We all receive an Easter basket from the Easter Bunny even Max. Max loved his basket. He didn't want ours which were filled with candy. Hunter picked out the blue rubber chicken for Max's basket. He loved it. It makes the most annoying sound.
We took a horse and buggy tour of Beaufort which was a lot of fun and we learned a lot.
The Castle was built over 150 years old. There are gorgeous giant Oak trees in front of the house.
This is the hanging tree. Numerous pirates and outlaws were hung from the tree.
As you probably know most of Forest Gump was filmed in Beaufort. Even the Vietnam scenes when filmed near Fripp Island. Here we are in front of Bubba's church. Tom Hanks stepped in that very spot during filming. The bench scenes were filmed in Savannah. I guess they could not find a bench they liked in Beaufort.
This is the bridge the Forrest Gump ran across when he crossed the Mississippi River. After filming, the movie studio left the "Welcome to Mississippi" sign on the bridge. The local government was not very happy and had in removed.
This was a neat overlook we found in Port Royal. There were about 6 flights of stairs to walk up to get to the top.
We ate at our favorite seafood restaurant, 11th Dockside, in Port Royal. We had not eaten there since Hunter was a toddler. So we enjoyed eating and talking without having to entertain a toddler. 
We enjoyed looking at all the ships outside to restaurant. What a beautiful view.
We went to Hunting Island State Park. There we are at the top of the lighthouse. You could see for miles.
There was a neat Nature Center and boardwalk at Hunting Island State Park. There are my men on the boardwalk with the Fripp Island bridge behind them. (which by the way was the bridge Nick Nolte drove over in The Prince of Tides)

We walk through one of the graveyard in Charleston. There was a full moon that night. We heard stories about people who were buried there.
He taught them about fire safety and how to built a fire. He had them pitch a tent as a team without help. He review the Scout Motto, Oath and Law. Then he taught them how to tie several knots.
