Last Day in Charleston

So for my last day in Charleston, I actually used the alarm clock to get up early and I headed to downtown Charleston to do a 2 1/2 hour walking tour through the historic city of Charleston. Being the history buff that I am, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the exercise. Here are some pictures from the tour:

Our tour started at the historic Mills House Hotel

One of our first stops along the tour: you'll notice the earthquake bolts built in the homes.

The beautiful homes along "The Battery" with the views of the waterfront.

The architecture of these buildings was so grand.

I grabbed some lunch on my way back to Isle of Palm and then enjoyed a relaxing afternoon by the pool. I then decided for dinner that I would drive down the road to Sullivan's Island. I found a great restaurant to have dinner at, Poe's Tavern. I was able to sit outside on the porch and enjoyed a delicious burger. From there I drove about 5 minutes down the road to Ft. Moultrie and walked on the beach for a little while and took some more pictures.

See, I really did go to South Carolina :)

After spending some time on Sullivan's Island, I headed back to Isle of Palm and did some shopping and caught the late show of "Made of Honor". It was your typical, cutesy romantic comedy. I got back to the beach house and went straight to bed as I flew out the next day.
