One Day Vacation

We headed out this morning to go to the Farmer's Market downtown Charleston but it was so crowded and parking was a problem that we decided just to "get our of dodge"!
I seem to be getting into the habit of taking pictures of the Ravenal Bridge whenever we cross it and I have my camera.  I never tire of it.
If you are looking for a little fixer upper here in Charleston, I have one already scoped out for you.  (remember - I am taking pictures out the window!)
And another picture out the windshield.  This is a draw bridge but I have never ever seen it open.  If one of my readers has seen it open, please leave a comment!
All the way out Maybank Highway - Johns Island and Wadmalaw Island we went and we deadended in Rockville. What a gorgeous drive through the marshes and the forests of pine and oak.
This is Cherry Point Landing and lots and lots of people were launching there boats there.  I loved this view of the shrimpers.
There were even a few sailboats around which of course warmed our hearts!  In fact - it warmed our hearts so much that we felt the need to go to Red's Ice House and cool down.  It was Jake's idea of course as it is his favorite restaurant!

A cold Corona was what worked for me.  And I added a nice chicken sandwich made with Old Bay seasoning and I agreed to the cheese and bacon but I didn't eat the bun and not TOO many of the fries!

See why Jake loves Red's so much!  He gets his own bucket of ice water with the cubes floating - all his own!

And then this afternoon we got to see our next door neighbor, Anne get dressed for her prom.  Just look at that dress!  She surely will be the bell of the ball!

    That has stopped me several times from driving down just to enjoy the day. On the other hand I am so stir crazy from having been cooped up at home here in Columbia for so long that chicken sandwich made me wish I came down this weekend.
