Our Journey

I started this blog when my two girls and I began
taking car trips. We have been to Rhode Island, New York, Kentucky, Connecticut, South Carolina, Niagra Falls, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, even Canada! In the car we have created memories of our past and strengthened our bond for the future. I have decided to keep the blog going, not only of our travels, but to document all of the miracles, big and small, in our day-to-day lives. Some of these entries will not be in chronological order as I will enter them as I remember them!

Thanks for taking the ride with us...

Day 3, Charleston, SC

Hi y'all.   Today we awoke in Charleston (well, at least I have).  On our way out of Ashville we wanted to see the Biltmore estate (George Vanderbilt's mansion).  We drove downtown and onto the grounds up to the ticket gate.  $55.00 per person to get in.  I asked,  "May we just drive up and look at it from the car?"  "No".  So, we did a u-turn, stopped at the gift shop and bought a postcard to view.  George outdid himself and all the other Vanderbilts.  It has something like 250 rooms, indoor pool, 65 fireplaces, 195 acres, etc.

We drove about six hours until we finally got to Charleston.  Hugh and Sophi were tired, so Millie and I drove off to Isle de Palms where we shopped and took in the beach.  Surf was up and the boys were in their wet suits!

Today I'm hoping to get everyone up and out and go to Edisto beach.  It's a beautiful state park with wide open beach and it welcomes dogs.
