Sophisticated charm in Charleston! Loved every minute of this 5 day stay. The colorful homes with flower boxes brimming over with Spring blooms and the presence again of patriotism. We visited the Citadel, the USS Yorktown and were treated with hundreds of sailboats during race week. It rained almost everyday but we biked through it!

The food was just as fabulous as we hoped with eggplant fritters, creamy cheese grits and local brews and baked goods. We saw a play (Seminar) and enjoyed the young, casual vibe from the College of Charleston in contrast to the formality of the Citadel.

We stayed 2 nights at the mega dock and 3 at the Maritime Center which we much preferred. Fun to see Cindy and Randy again on their Ranger 25, I Think I Can.  Sunny and 70 as we cruise nirth to Georgetown and Myrtle Beach.
