We picked the James Island County Park in Charleston. What a score. They are having their annual light show. Best Christmas Light show I have ever seen. Two miles of continuous light displays. Plus additional walking areas in "Christmas Village. Probably over 500 individual light displays that were very impressive and animated.
Twinkling stars with an American Bald Eagle.
Fire breathing dragon with fire shooting out of his mouth.
Dinosaur. There were about 15 different dinosaurs in this area.
This is Noah's Arc with all the animals walking in.
Poor picture but these are all the planets!
They even had typical Christmas scenes.
Old mother hubbard and her kids.
These pictures are about 2% of what was out there. Truly entertaining and amazing.
This was Mark's favorite. A ship with a fighter plane above it. There were sparks coming out of the guns like they were shooting and the props were turning.
Charleston involved a carriage tour.
This is me and my carriage driver. Great tour.
After the tour we went down to the Noisy Oyster. This is a stack of crab cakes, fried green tomatoes with a gravy of she-crab soup. Very yummy. I bought a huge piece of coconut cake (local specialty) to take home for dessert tonight. Also scored a homemade praline and a couple of caramel turtles. Love Charleston!
We toured the historical US Customs house on the harbor. They had a basement which was used for a prison for a while. For a while they held four signers of the Constitution. This guy was called Gadsden. He is the guy that designed the "Gadsden" flag which was the yellow one with the snake on it. Mark has a special feeling for this flag so I had to take a picture of the designer.
On the way home from this great state we stopped at a great barbeque place for some takeout. This should have been a Tuesday because I am getting fat..........
