Today I am typing without gloves, I am so much better with just my fingers, not so many mistakes and it doesn't take as long to type. We pulled anchor and headed over to Beauford S.C. . The morning was chilly but as the day went on it became very nice about 60's. We docked at the town dock at about 1pm and decided to meander around the town. The old homes thoughout the town we built about the 1800's and are huge, who lives in a house this big. How can they even pay the heat bill... I know back in the day they had to use fireplaces for heat, but today with heat and air the power bill must be gigantic...We found an old armory that the city now uses a vistors center, thats were Carl met Miss Beauford, love at first sight.. I could hardly drag him away...We found a monument for William Small who was a black man who not only helped with the Union army raid and obtain a confederate ship, he also became a congress man, preacher and a mason plus had 3 wifes so he must have been crazy too... It is a nice town to explore and we stopped at a local bar that let dogs in. We had a good time with Zoe that bartender, she even made Carl a hot dog. They had jello shots and we did a few. Wooooo it was a big time... I can't believe I was able to make dinner after all the fun we had... Today we will travser the town this morning and we will head out later today or not. We are meeting our family in Savannah again Saturday and we are close and don't want to get there to early. Enjoying the warmer weather..

Welcome to Beaufort SC! It's one of our favorite places to stop when going through by car. An old brick church, down old church road, across hwy 17, in Beaufort was erected before the civil war then destroyed during the war. They erected it again, and it was destroyed a 2nd time. They left it in pieces and today only the brick pillars and arches stand among the old grave sites and giant oaks. The place is a protected historical site now. Glad you're warmer and so close to home!!! We love you guys!
