The Beach

Today we went out to Folly Beach. There is some tropical moisture in the area, so the day started off very wet. By the time we were done swimming it started to get pretty nice outside. Afterwards we went to eat at a crab shack, and I completely forgot to take a picture when they brought out the crab and shrimp in a bucket with corn and potatoes....just like our crab boil. When we were done we went shopping along the way back to the car. Look at how dark the clouds were.
My camera fogged up with all the rain and humidity.
Mason preferred the sand to the water. He only went in when we made him, and then he cried.

This is the pier at Waterfront park in Charleston where we started our ghost tour.

This is the original customs house and eventually a post office. Now its a postal museum.
These are the law buildings. The only corner in America where you can get married, get divorced, and pick up your mail all in the same place.

ok so I have to comment on Mason not going into the water...

Was it cold? Cause you know, the only water he won't go in is Canadian cold water.. :P

The pictures are very cool. Would have been fun to the crab boil bucket but cie la vie. I suppose your entire holiday cant be about taking pictures for us.

OH and I bought you a book today. Its called "How To Be a Canadian"

The whole postal, marriage, divorce all in one concept - very good idea.

It wasn't cold! It was warm. It was the moving water he didn't like.

Can't wait to see the book.
