Charleston - Day 5

On Tuesday, we went to Patriots Point. It's a museum/historic area that has several different ships:


  • USS Yorktown - an aircraft carrier
  • USS Clamagore - a submarine
  • USS Laffey - a destroyer
  • USCG Ingham - a coast guard cutter

It also has a few other exhibits that we didn't get to because it was getting late and Samuel was getting hungry.

Here we are with the USS Yorktown in the background.

Samuel sitting in the air intake of an F-18 (Uncle Jon put him there, but I think we were probably breaking some rules)






We didn't get anymore pictures because right after that, the camera battery died. I think Patriot Point was one of Samuel's favorite thing though. Every knob that could be twisted or button that could be pushed was tested out by Samuel! He had a lot of fun.

That afternoon, we also went to Fort Moultrie. It's a fort that was used in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War II. It is across the harbor from Fort Sumter. Samuel liked running through all the bunkers and tunnels.
