 Away we go - nonstop Baltimore to CHS on Southwest - quick flight! |
 Rented a car and drove south, encountering heavy rush hour traffic and this monster on the side of the highway |
 Checked into Kasim's wonderful Airbnb place in John's Island |
 Next day, tropical storm Hermine threatened to wreak havoc. We saw news folks in nearby Folly Beach. |
 Sand bags at the Sno Bar in Folly Beach |
 A shark watches over City Hall |
 Folly Beach pier with angry Atlantic |
 The palm fronds were actually swaying sideways |
 Went to see Angel Oak. A big limb was down near by. |
 Angel Oak Park was closed due to the storm, so we had to peek through the fence at it. |
 Angel Oak from the fence. It's very large, very old & not far from the Airbnb. |
 The proud dad relaxing at the beautiful beach house some of the guests rented for the weekend |
 Steve & David at the beach house |
 Hermine blew off the protective netting. Wind was fierce. |
 Went sightseeing between the wedding festivities. Here's Sullivan Island lighthouse near Fort Moultrie |
 Only U.S. lighthouse with an elevator. Love the shape. |

 On to Morris Island & its lighthouse. Dolphins were cruising near the shore. |

 Lots of driftwood on the beach |
 Rehearsal dinner was held in a beautiful setting - Bowens Island restaurant |
 You can rent kayaks near the restaurant |
 Pirate boat |
 The marshes (yes, I used insect repellent) |
 Went to Patriot's Point. Howard checked out the ship charts - familiar thing for a former Navy damage control guy |
 On the deck of the Yorktown |
 I didn't know the U.S. Mint produced Medal of Honor coins. They were beautiful as all U.S. special coins are. |
 Ravenel Bridge from Patriot's Point. Got a terrible bug bite taking this picture. |
 Finally it was time for the reason we went to Charleston - wedding amidst the dripping Spanish moss |
 While we were waiting for the ceremony to begin, an uninvited guest showed up |
 More moss - Walnut Hill on John's Island |
 Cory & Arielle listen to toasts at their marriage ceremony |
 Cory & Arielle by Howard |
 Reception: Cut with a fork brisket & BBQ; then Nichole's 360 tartlets. Arielle & Cory were impressed, as were we all! |
 Some of the 360 tartlets made by Cory's sister |
 Cory with Nicole and her 360 tartlets |
 Celebrating Nicole's accomplishment |
 We were invited to write love letters to the bride & groom |
 Typical Charleston scene - water everywhere |
 Beautiful Ravenel bridge, one of a number in the Charleston area, but by far my favorite |
 On our last day there, we had a nice long lunch with friend Mike halfway between where he lived & John's Island. |
 That evening, I drove along West Ashley, filled with mansions. I peeked through a gate to see one. Next day - goodbye CHS! |
