Charleston pics ROUND ONE

Currently, I only have the fews pictures I took with my cell phone... I purchased a disposable camera while there and need to finish the roll before I can get it developed. I can't be the only one that forgets their digital camera on a trip... can I ?! hhmmm, probably not a very good thing to admit when my blog is entitled "My Journeys."

Below are two pictures of Fort Sumter. This is where the first shots of the civil war rang out. A fireplace from one of the officer's rooms is circled. The second picture is self-explanatory :o)

One night we went to Hyman's seafood restaurant for dinner. The establishment started out as a dry goods store over 100 years ago, and family members reinvented themselves over the years in order to survive. It has been a popular restaurant for (I think) ten years. It is not only a hot tourist spot; celebrities are brought in through a back door, which enables them to be seated with little fanfare. We were seated in the back where they come in, and our table had little plaques stating the Beach Boys, David Lee Roth, and Matthew Broderick & Sarah Jessica Parker sat there. (The name on one other plaque escapes me...)

This picture shows my marguerita (would you believe I'm not a big drinker?!) and hubby's bottle of local microbrew called Palmetto. The Beach Boys placque is to the right of the bottle.

These are Matthew and Sarah's placques

Let's hope I have some good pictures of Rainbow Row, Waterfront Park, etc. to share with you in a post to come!
