Charleston, SC (visit niece and banging tree limbs)

On the 14th we drove from east, central Georgia after visiting the Browns to Charleston, SC.  Tim's oldest niece, Sarah, lives there.  Sarah works two jobs, as a CVS pharmacy tech and at a medical/surgery center pharmacy.  She starts classes this fall at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston to achieve her doctorate degree.  She is a very busy young lady.  It just so happens that her boyfriend, Kyle, lives in Charleston.  We were lucky enough to meet them for dinner.

I am told Kyle shaved just for the occasion.  We must be special.

We stayed at the Campground on James Island, which is a county park.  The park is almost a destination vacation spot.  Besides a very nice full service campground, there is hiking, biking, swimming and site-seeing.
Above picture shows the view from part of James Island.  Numerous people were fishing on the dock.
When you come by the entrance to the campground at night, this huge owl is there to greet you.  Much of the paved roads in the park have electrical outlets on both sides.  We learned the island park hosts a tremendous Christmas light show.  The only problem with getting to and from the island with a tall RV like ours is that you'll bang every tree limb in Charleston.  Our bus is 12 foot 3 inches to the highest hard spot (satellite doom), but extends another foot with two flexible antennas.  Charleston doesn't trim three limbs, so we did it for them.  The banging noise was unnerving.

Up next: another proton pal visit in Virginia.
