Bill and I had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We had a traditional turkey, stuffing, veggies, mashed potatoes, biscuits, etc. dinner at Poogan's Porch, which was great. We had dinner at 3:30, which we thought would be a quiet time; it wasn't. Poogan's Porch is a popular place. Thanks Mary Alice for the recommendation. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving as well.
After fixing the aft sump in the head, today we rented a car and did some exploring outside of the downtown area. We went to Folly Beach and to Isle of Palms after doing some errands (Harris Teeter and West Marine). Both beaches were beautiful and we were surprised at how many people were enjoying the beach with their families and dogs. The morning and afternoon were sunny and warm. The clouds have rolled in now and the wind is picking up. We are going to stay in Charleston until Monday since the weekend is supposed to be rainy and cold. With Bill still not feeling 100%, we don't want to be in the rain for our trip to Beaufort, SC which is our next destination.
When we got back to the marina a mini cruise ship was docked behind us. The bow of the America Spirit looks massive off our stern.
Another exciting thing we did today was get a small fake 3' Christmas tree (complete with lights) and mini decorations. We are going to wait a bit to put it up but I am glad that we are going to be able to bring Christmas to the sv Mary Elizabeth this year since we aren't going to Boston or Florida.
