Charleston to meet the Sea Princess doing the World cruise from Australia.

A friend and her daughters were on the world cruise with a stop in Charleston so took the opportunity to visit with them for the day.  I drove to meet Aubrey who was working in Augusta which was on the route, we left Augusta early the next morning as we wanted to watch the Sea Princess arrive – always so exciting.

Watched the ship come in and dock, there were 2 other couples waiting to meet people off the ship.

We headed out to the plantation and got there before the crowds – toured the plantation house and slave quarters, did the trolley tour around the grounds.

Shopped at the outlet mall and went for a southern BBQ lunch.

Walked downtown, along the waterfront and spend a great day with friends we don’t get to see too often.

We stayed overnight in Charleston so headed back to the market in the morning for a little before taking a drive to visit a friend in Port Royal and do a little sightseeing there and in Beaufort SC.

Port Royal is really quaint and we stopped in town while walking thru it at a little coffee spot that had such a nice vibe.
