Day 5

We drove from Savannah to Charleston, which differed greatly form last year's birthday drive.  Mom thought I would be disappointed, but I was not.  We got to Charleston around noon, found our inn, and went to Ft. Sumter.  We enjoyed a nice, a/c ferry ride and pretty afternoon at Fort Sumter.

Driving down Meeting Street to our inn, Mom spotted a restaurant named Sticky Fingers and decided that is where she wanted to eat.  It was across the street from where we had to park the car (2 1/2 blocks away from the inn).  Come to find out, Sticky Fingers was bar-b-que, delicious bar-b-que, with a complimentary peach cobbler for dessert.

Afterwards, Mom relaxed in our wonderful room at Meeting Street Inn, and I took off with my camera.  It was a nice Sunday evening with few tourists.  I snapped many photos of historic buildings.  This birthday, while different from many others, was a great birthday.  I enjoyed sightseeing and spending the day with Mom.  We had a great time.  Being 44 is turning out to be pretty good.

Tomorrow, we are visiting a plantation and touring the city.
