Back before wedding season started I mentioned to my mama that we should take a trip together somewhere for a few days. Well, we never decided on anything until a few weeks ago she mentioned it again. I told her she had 2 options....the first weekend in September or wait until February. My mama has never really traveled anywhere much and decided she wanted to go to Charleston since she's never been. So, we hit the road Thursday morning, stopped in Columbia for lunch and got to Charleston around 2pm. The weather was perfect!!! Beautiful blue skies, a nice breeze.....couldn't have asked for much better! Here's some pics taken with my point and shoot from yesterday.
The Battery....
A sailboat...
A Palmetto tree....
After dinner at Fleet Landing, we walked down to the waterfront park to get a few pics there.
The bridge....
The Yorktown...
Mama kept watching the sun shining on this cross as we were eating.
View from the end of the waterfront park.
Mama didn't think I could get a picture of it before it flew off....got it!
Now the weather today is a little different than yesterday. We were fine until about 1pm when we got drenched from the rain.....I think we are confined to our hotel room for the remainder of the day. A lot of places today closed at 1pm....they have boarded their windows up and put their sandbags out. 
Only voluntary evacuations have been issued....nothing mandantory. I think we'll tough it out unless mandantory ones are issued. According to the weather forecast the worst of Hanna should come through around midnight until 2am. So hopefully we'll sleep through the worst part. We're staying at the Embassy Suites (where I usually stay when I come down with BI-LO). The building used to be the old Citadel building and has been here for years so I feel pretty safe where we are.
