What I learned in Charleston.

This past week Lavoy was at a conference in Charleston for Powerschool University. Craig and I went with him. When I lived in Charleston, I rarely visited the typical tourist sights. This week, Craig and I went to the Yorktown, Isle of Palms County Park, The Provost Dungeon, rode over the new Cooper River Bridge on bikes we rented and enjoyed the pool at the hotel. In the many years I lived in Charleston, I never visited the Provost Dungeon at the end of Broad and East Bay. It was quite interesting and it was Craig's idea. He is quite the history buff. The visit to the Yorktown was also Craig's idea. Being true to his character, we rode bikes to the top of the Cooper River Bridge and he dropped a stone from there to see it plunk in the water. The week was nothing I had in mind but wound up being a fun filled week. I had the idea of sitting at the beach every day. Craig would have no part of that once he got sun on Monday. I learned from my 13 year old son to take one day at a time and don't plan out the fun, especially on vacation. Take each day and determine your fun for that day. Each day is an opportunity to make it what you want. It's is up to each one of us to determine what our day will be. We can sit around and wish for things or we can go out and make things happen-even if it is not what we originally had in mind. I certainly never imagined riding a bike across the Cooper River Bridge on one of the hottest days in June but I did and the sweat was so worth it.
