After leaving Congaree we headed to Goose Creek to visit Paul's sister and family! Kari, Pete, Easton, and Sadie were generous enough to host us for almost a week after our trip to Congaree. It was fantastic to once again sleep in real beds, take real showers, and see some family! Easton (who is 3) and Sadie (who just turned 2) are super cute and fun and we had a blast spending time with them.
Charleston is a pretty cool place to visit. There is a lot of history there and lots of things to do in and around the area. We opted to take a carriage tour through downtown Charleston. It turned out to be a fantastic plan, our tour guide was amazing. He knew not just the minimum to do a tour, but he was funny, personable, and really seemed to enjoy his job. It made for a great afternoon. The Akers also took us out to dinner to celebrate my birthday the week before! We had such a great time while we were there, can't wait to see them again!
After leaving Charleston we headed West to see Julie's brother Raymond, who is spending a semester at Uchee Pines! We passed by Georgia on the way to Alabama!
We went to church with him on Sabbath, then went for a walk with Raymond and some of his friends after lunch. It was an excellent and relaxing Sabbath. We slept in our hammocks that night, and then headed out the next morning to the town of Columbus to see the store that is operated by Uchee Pines, the Country Life Store in Columbus, GA. We had an excellent lunch there and then walked along the River Walk for a couple miles.
Sadly we weren't able to stay much longer because we had to make it down to Florida, and Hurricane Matthew was on its way. We didn't particularly want to do battle with a hurricane, so we wanted to be in and out before he landed. We bid Raymond adieu and headed to Florida!
