More From Historic Charleston

A walk down King Street is a great experience. While you feel the history still alive in the centuries old buildings, you find yourself looking into an Apple store full of modern technology. There are numerous stores and fabulous art galleries. King street is a "Don't Miss" area of Charleston.




We took a tour of the Edmondston-Alston House. This home is full of original furnishings and is beautiful. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting tidbits.





A lovely Camellia greets you and is a sight for sore eyes in the middle of winter.



Notice the sidewalk and stairway. Can you imagine all who have passed here?




In the distant harbor you can see Fort Sumter, where the first shot of the Civil War was fired.




We hope Sam enjoyed the trip and had a great birthday.
