Travel

So on Thursday and Friday we traveled to and from Charleston, spending from 2 Thursday to 6 Friday doing stuff. As soon as we got out of the car on Thursday after driving 3 hours, we hopped on a boat.
 The Arthur Ravenel (Cooper River) bridge - biggest of its kind in the world
Ft. Sumter, our destination 
 The flags on Ft. Sumter
 Ft. Sumter
Going over the Cooper River bridge

And then we went to sleep. The next morning Mom, my sister and my aunt went to the beach while Grandpa and I went to the Charleston Museum. We almost literally ended up running through it, because we couldn't figure out how to work the digital meter thingy. And my camera was dying.
 Period dresses
 Some weird instrument. Any idea what?
 The skeleton of a camel. In Charleston.
 A Leatherback turtle. I knew they were big, but wasn't expecting that big. And Grandpa (a scientist) told me they could get twice as big. That's huge!
 Another odd artifact.
 Mom told me this bear used to be at the front of the old museum. It's tall!
A ginormous crocodile. The tall skeleton in the background is a Giraffe.

Then we drove home. It was a cool visit overall; Charleston is interesting.
