St. James Island County Park, Charleston, SC
We started our day off with a hike at the campground on Skidaway Island. It takes you through groves of palmettos and oaks and out to the marshes.
This area was hit by Hurricane Matthew last October. The observation tower is no longer accessible due to the boardwalk being moved a couple hundred feet.
The rest of the loop was gorgeous. I especially liked the red cardinal birds flittering about and their contrast against the green.
On our drive from Savannah to Charleston we stopped at a Cider stand. We tried several different kinds of cider and ended up buying several bottles of peach cider. Yum! So tasty.
There was also every kind of canned vegetable, fruit, perserve and sauce you could think of.
We explored Charleston by bike. The highlights were riding through the charming streets and being in awe of all the history.
You would have thought that after last night we would have had our fill of seafood. Nope. How could we pass up some amazing local fish? And of course, we just HAD to have some hush puppies, being in South Carolina and all.
We got back to our campground at about 7:30. Oh forgot to mention this over the top campground where we are staying. It's a county campground, but feels more like Disneyland. It's got a climbing wall, splash zone, fancy wave pool, miles and miles of paved bike paths and everything is meticulously maintained. However, the biggest bonus was the opening night of their summer concert program - featuring...
Reggae music!! There were several thousand people there...and we be jammin' too.
After listening to the Da' Gullah Rootz for several hours we walked back to our campsite. Pretty chill evening.
The hardest part was getting this blog written before falling into bed. Don't worry, be happy.
