Road Trip 2011 Part 2: The Charleston Adventures Day 3

Tuesday dawned rainy, but the sun was beginning to peek through the clouds. 

There was hope for a sunny day!


While the weather was deciding what to do, we decided to head back to the city and visit the South Carolina Aquarium.

Among the many other fishy wonders, we saw an albino alligator.
(Which perhaps would have been more impressive if not for King Louie at the Louisville Zoo. )


Outside the aquarium was the bay and a beautiful view (THE SUN!) of the suspension bridge.


Earl even made a friend...



The architecture of Charleston is amazing.  I love the old buildings and all those magnificent wooden doorways!

The best way to see the city?

Carriage tours, of course!

Poor Bill the horse was loaded down with over a dozen tourists....good thing Charleston is not known for steep inclines...

We plodded along past dozens of historically insignificant sights...



Afterward we gave Bill some much-deserved love and headed off to find some grub....BBQ was on the menu!

When we returned to our condo we sat out on the deck and watched the lightening dance in the clouds in the distance.
With a view like this, we were feeling very spoiled!
