  • Oh, and by the way...I forgot to tell you guys something about our vacation. 

     

    DRUMROLL..........

     

    I ate octopus.  Actually, I ate several octopi.  I decided to try an octopus just to say that I had, and I really liked it so I had more.  :)

    Here is a picture (I didn't take it, I found it online) of octopus similar to what I ate.

  • I have to say...in this post I don't get all the credit for the pictures.  But I really liked some of the other pictures and wanted to share them.

    Mom took this one near the 'waterfront park'.

    2009_10250319

    I just loved this sign on the ramp coming off the U.S.S. Yorktown.  They just had to pick such an odd number.  :)

    2009_10250162

    Mom took this one on the way back from Fort Sumter.

    2009_10250277

    Here is the lighthouse.  Mom took this one.  :)

    2009_10250292

    Mom took this one.  (Couldn't you tell? :)

    2009_10250307

    Jo took this one.  I really like it.  :)

    2009_10250107

    Well, that covers the highlights of our trip and gets in all my favorite pictures, so no more spurts.  :)

  • I found more!!

    Okay, here's the next spurt.  :)

    This was also taken from our porch.

    2009_10250150 

    This was on the way back from Fort Sumter.  Whenever our boat would pass another boat, everyone on both boats would wave.  :)

    2009_10250258 

    On the way back from the lighthouse (hopefully I'll get a picture of the lighthouse on here soon :), I found a grasshopper that was very still until I got a picture.  But just as soon as I snapped this one, he flew right into me and then flew off. 

    2009_10250306

    These were taken Downtown Charleston.

    2009_10250323 

    2009_10250324 

    2009_10250327 

    This was also taken Downtown Charleston, out of the window of the DASH, at one of the ritzy hotels.

  • Aha!!!  I found more pictures from our trip on here!  I guess I just reached the 'pictures per post' limit.  :)

    I don't normally take posed pictures of people, but this time I did.  :)

    2009_10250120 

    There were lots of shells on the beach (of which we got a good-sized collection :).

    2009_10250121 

    2009_10250122 

    These birds were a hoot.  When I first saw them, they were both staring at the fake owl.  But when I pulled out the camera and got it turned on, they both looked the other way and wouldn't look back at it.  So I got the picture I could. 

    2009_10250130 

    We did get to go out on the pier.  There were lots of people fishing, even though it was late at night.

    2009_10250139 

    2009_10250127

    This was taken on our third-story porch. 

    2009_10250151

    This was taken on the ship going back to the U.S.S. Yorktown from Fort Sumter. 

    2009_10250255

    Well, I thought I could get more pictures on here, but now it's not letting me put any more on.  Oh, well.  You'll just have to put up with the spurts they're coming in.  :)
