a day trip to Charleston

with our good friend Ann visiting us from Connecticut for the week a day trip was in order down to Charleston.. we have been friends  for over 50 years .. Ann was our neighbor when we lived on Long Island.. her husband Joe was a NYC Fireman but unfortunately passed away 13 years ago.. I guess it was actually a 'shopping trip'  for the ladies.. we first stopped by the Omni at Charleston Place.. Louie Vuitton..  then the Charleston Market followed by a nice lunch  that we walked off along Rainbow Row and the Battery thru Battery Park and the old historic district which Charleston is noted for..  83* and sunny.. a perfect day..
