Hampton Park

We headed out yesterday to the Farmer's Market in Marian Square (downtown Charleston). Once we arrived at the downtown area we both knew our plan needed to be aborted. The area was alive with pedestrians and cars alike. There was not a parking place to be had. Even the parking structures said "FULL". So quickly I had to come up with another plan as we had promised Jake an outing.

Just on the other side of Hwy 17 is a park that we had never been to. In fact we had never even been to that area of Charleston so it was a mini adventure for all of us.

Hampton Park is old and has wonderful old trees (can you spot the two young girls climbing in the old oak tree?) and rose bushes that are huge. We enjoyed walking around and enjoyed the warm sunshine and the green (although the green is really that green yet).














Jake didn't know what to think of the horses and even let out a small bark. We believe the horses belonged to the local police.

After the park we took Jake to Fetch Doggie Daycare. Our friends Jennifer and Phil own and operate it. (They also own and operate the Man Cave) So, Jake knows them very well. We let him stay for a hour while we ran errands just to see how he did. He didn't love it of course but he did fine. He needs to be comfortable so that we can leave him for vacations and not worry about him.

That's it!
