    Riding the trolley with the girls in Downtown Charleston.

    Charleston is a great town to explore a variety of history.  One of the neat perks of Charleston is you can park you car somewhere (if you can find parking) and ride the free trolley around the town.  When it is just the girls and I we usually park in the parking garage near the Charleston Visitors Center and grab the trolley right there so it is easy to get around town.  The trolley takes you right near almost all the historical places so you only have to walk a few blocks here and there.  The trolley’s come by every 10 to 15 minutes so you rarely have to wait very long.  Just look for the bus stops or trolley signs to catch a nearby trolley ride.

    We met up with Jake and ate at the Noisy Oyster in downtown Charleston.  Pictured above is what I had for dinner the Noisy Oyster’s Grilled Salmon BLT sandwich.  It was delicious!

    We took a walk through downtown Charleston after dinner.  The interactive water fountain in Waterfront Park is always a hit with the kids.

    When we walked down the Waterfront Pier we noticed that the dolphins were out swimming in the harbor.  It was getting dark by this time, but it was beautiful watching them glide through the water in front of us.

    Wrapping up a fun and busy day in Charleston!  Time to walk back to the car!  Charleston is a great town to walk through at night with all the things to see, do, and it is usually bustling with people, horse carriages, bike tours, and more.
