Another beautiful day in Charleston

The last two days have been in the high sixties and low seventies.  It is beautiful on our creek.  Yesterday we avoided chores and spent several hours at the Charleston Naval History museum.  We were able to tour an aircraft carrier and a submarine.  It was fascinating.  They also have a reconstruction of a Vietam War base camp.  Grampa explained to the boys how it was similar to and different from his experience in the war.  We all learned a lot!  We finished up the day at Sticky Fingers barbecue in downtown Charleston;  great ribs, fried corn on the cob, sweet potatoe fries and bread pudding - yum.  Today the boys went to Boone Plantation with Nana and Grampa.   They learned a lot about cotton farming, brick making, pecan trees and most importantly about the role that slaves played in the South.  Sam and I drove around town, did laundry, visited West Marine, Walmart, Lowes and the Piggly Wiggly.  Sam removed to holding tank from one of our heads - brave man!  The boat is shaping up and we are crossing lots of projects off our list.  We had our first dinner on the boat with Nana and Grampa.  It is beginning to feel like home.
