Last year, as part of my 50th jubilee celebration I took a bus trip to Charleston and Savannah. Absolutely loved it! Thanks for the book tips--I'll add them to my list of books to look for. Always glad for recommendations!
ReplyDeleteI want to be there sharing in your adventures, they look like so much fun! Thank you for all the photos, I enjoyed looking at them and you set up such a beautiful campsite and it looks like you eat pretty good meals too!
