We left the house around 1:30am on Sunday morning, headed for Charleston, SC. The drive was pretty uneventful. A 2-hour nap prior to the trip along with a Spike Shooter and one Mini-Thin help to ensure I was wide awake and alert at the wheel. We stopped over at some shady hotel around 5:30am. We couldn’t get into our hotel until later in the day, so we made a small pitstop. We had planned ahead, which hotel we would stay at, but since we left the directions and the name of the hotel at home, we had to find a substitute. When I say ’shady’, I mean ‘SHADY’! It, of course, looked a lot better on the outside than it did on the indside. I felt like a fugitive staying there. *shudder* We only stayed long enough for us all to catch a couple hours of sleep, then we headed out for breakfast at IHOP. Twas good. Of course, all this time it has been raining. Yes, someone (not me) forgot to check the weather. *sigh* Oh well, we did venture to the beach, as it was only drizzling a bit. The beach, however, was barely there. So much of it (Isle of Palm, I think) has erroded away. It was a sad sight to see. |

Instead, we headed out to Patriot’s Point and took a tour of the aircraft carrier, the battleship, and a submarine that are docked there. I have several other pictures on my flickr account. It was an interesting tour. It would have been a bit nicer had we been able to take the time to read all the placards that were posted, but with two children in tow, we did not really idle around too much. |

The last day was spent relaxing by the pool and just kicking back. Monday made for a decent wind down, since Sunday was such a long day. |

One interesting thing that did happen was at the rental car place on Saturday. I was told they do not accept out-of-state driver’s licenses. uh… Isn’t that what their business is all about? WTF?!? Idiots. Enterprise sux |
