• Travel & Vacation: Beautiful Charleston Sunsets (Charleston, SC)

    Beautiful sunset

    There is something peaceful about sitting on a swing next to the ocean watching the sunset.  A light breeze and the sound of the ocean waves hitting the shore.  Some of the parks in Charleston have swings or benches you can sit on and watch the sun set in the sky.  Our family has enjoyed several of the Charleston sunsets.  If you are in Charleston and have the time to relax for a few minutes you may be blessed by a beautiful sunset too.

    This one was taken from under the big Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.  Our family decided to take a walk after dinner around the park  and were able to catch the sunset.

    The sun has set and the moon is out over Charleston.  You can see the small sliver of the moon between the Palm Trees against the dark blue sky.  This picture was taken at Battery Park.

    The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!

    Beautiful view and we almost had the pool to ourselves!

    During our time at the Swan & Dolphin Resorts the kids had to check out their pools.  Yes, they have several pools and a playground.  We had a blast swimming and splashing around in their pools on the hottest day.  The girls can spend hours swimming around.

    This pool was much quieter, but one of their favorites because it was easier to dive for items since it was less crowded.  That’s our hotel in the back ground.
