With the boat hauled and most of the chores complete it was time for some play. Dave's brother Matt arrived to drive us back to the midwest. So the three of us set out to explore Charleston and the surrounding area.
Our first, and most important stop, was to catch up with friends on Tiffany Rose. Dave, Shirley and Christopher had arrived in Charleston just days before as they continued their trek back home to Canada. It was great visiting with them! We will miss them, as well as all the great friends we've met along our journey very much!
In Charleston we enjoyed the historic district, the market and the naval museum. I've spoken of the historic district during our previous stay so I won't dwell here, but it was our first opportunity to see the naval museum. What fun!! The naval museum is one of the most complete I've ever been to with a WWII aircraft carrier, a sub, a destroyer and a Coast Guard cutter all available to see. On board the aircraft carrier were aircraft from many vintages of naval history. It was very impressive!
But enough of fun....we did eventually have to get back to the task at hand and begin the journey home. What mixed emotions. We are excited to be returning home but saddened to be leaving the boat. Then perhaps, summer in the midwest will bring its own adventures.
