Charleston & Beaufort, SC (Jan. 13-14, 2006)
Charleston Lighthouse
Located on Sullivans Island, northeast of Charleston. Completed in 1962, this has to be one of the ugliest lighthouses I've ever seen. The tower is 140 feet tall and keepers access the lantern room via the only lighthouse elevator in the US. The lighthouse and grounds are off-limits to the public.

Fort Moultrie
Ft. Moultrie, as seen from the roof of the visitors center, protected Charleston Harbor from 1776-1946. The reconstructed fort is based on the fort built here in 1809. The interior is laid out in five sections representing the time periods it served in...Pre-Civil War, Civil War, 1870's, 1898-1939 Harbor Defense, and WW2.
Folly Beach, SC
"But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." Matthew 7:26,27
There are quite a few "foolish men" along this stretch of coast:)Hunting Island State Park
Located about 20 minutes from Beaufort, this is a place I want to go spend some more time at. The park boasts a huge palm-lined beach(seen here), campground, a nature center, and a beautiful lighthouse. I wasn't suprised when I later read it was one of the most popular parks in all South Carolina.
