Days 100-117 - Charleston, S.C.

We left Dataw Island and are currently in the Charleston City Marina and will be there until about August 9th or 10th.  We had the opportunity to see Fort Sumter which is where the first shot of the civil war occurred.  There is so much history in this part of the country and we hope to see more of it before leaving.

We left Charleston on July 8th for San Antonio as Mike had several business meetings and we scheduled all of our doctor and dentist appointments as well as hosting a dinner for all of our original wedding party.  We've been doing this every five years for the last 20 years and most are still around.  Unfortunately one of our good friends passed away this year.  It will be very interesting to see who is still here in 5 years which will be our 50th anniversary!

We left San Antonio yesterday, July 20th and flew to Dallas to visit our youngest daughter Kelly for several days and then it's back to Charleston.  I plan to fly to Washington, D.C. on the 30th to join my oldest daughter Sherrie and granddaughter Lauren on a trip to New York City.  Lauren is going to attend a 5 day workshop at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Sherrie and I will enjoy shopping and seeing the sights.

Finally after all of that, we plan to head north.  Stay tuned for details.  I've been told that I haven't been adding to the blog enough so I'll try to remedy that situation.
