We spent some timeo on the beach today looking at shells. We first stopped outside our hotel which was on a place called shell island and its obvious where its name came from there were shells everywhere. We then took 17 south along the coast and made it to Myrtle Beach for lunch. We ate on the water at a fish place called Sea Captains. It had good food and a nice peaceful ambiance as the rain decided to down poor outside. The waves started crashing from the higher winds but by the time we were done the rain stopped so we made another short walk on the beach. Next stop was in Mt Pleasant, there is a plantation there called Boon Hall. The plantation is still being worked, they have fruits and vegtables. The main house was built in the 1930's so not that old but the slave quarters are still there and those are more original. There were nine of them standing, its amazing how small they seem. The plantation was had a big brick yard on it as well as the largest pecan grove.
There are still about 500 pecan trees. They look very diffrent than the ones you see in phoenix cause they have ivy and moss all over them. The gardens even had some flowers, the dafidils were out and you could see other bulbs getting ready to come out. From there we took a look at fort Sumpter, we arrived to late to take a boat out to the fort which is in the middle of the bay. You could see its large brick walls out in the middle of the water.
From there we drove to Charlston SC from where we were to Charleston there was a real fancy bridge that with the lights and the clouds look like a type of gateway. We stopped to see the north caroline battle ship. Man those ships are big. We then headed for our next hotel for the night on Hilton Head Island, to get here we had to take alot of bridges and if you think there are alot of golf courses in phoenix you havnt seen this place they are all over the place. Today we will head to florida we will see what we do next.
