Chucktown

we've lived here for what, 3 years now? yes, that's correct. i've been to charleston how many times? two. once for a 4D ultrasound and once to take my boss to pick up his car. this is pretty typical for me. we lived in cleveland for 3 years and i never once toured the rock n roll hall of fame. well, finally, i became the tourist. woo hoo! we met my dad, stepmother, brother, sister-in-law and nephew there for the weekend. we did some pretty tourist-y things. i ate a lot. i took quite a few pictures. here they are.

roman will find something to play with almost anywhere

it is against sc law to have dolphins and whales in captivity, so it was nice to see this guy swimming free before we went to the aquarium uss yorktown, pretty cool looking with the sailboats in front, i thought
he's no pablo, but this little penguin was pretty cute
didn't think i would see this guy at the aquarium
this shark was pretty cool looking
