Day 29:
We headed out of Hilton Head, but not without taking a look at one of the houses of our current neighbors who owns a beach house, so we took a drive to see it and it was pretty cool (invite us over Tracey!). We were all dying of hunger and couldn't find anything to our liking in Bluffton (which was a big bluff) or Beaufort. We had to take an emergency pit stop at Wendy's, but me and mom refused to eat fast food, so I was a trooper and waited until we went to Charleston which was originally called Charles Town. We took a walking tour of all the colonial houses and it is unbelievable that they are still the same as they were in the 1700 with very small cobblestone streets and real gaslight lamps outside each house. There are also posts outside the house where people would tie up their horses and a random stone step near the curb that we are guessing people used to step off of their horse. We walked along Bay Street with all of the historic houses and saw Ft. Sumter, which is exactly where the Civil War began against North and South. We were imagining that all the people in the houses along the water were pretty terrified just looking out the windows from their mansions. We wandered around the downtown area which is very young with a lot of college kids and we ate at this really superb sushi store, I was so hungry I could eat a horse! Today we will go to North Carolina, and stay for a while and progressively make our way to Milford.
