Anne, Ruth and Susan Winston
What a wonderful weekend we had in Charleston, South Carolina June 21-24, 2013 - a time to remember forever. Anne and I drove down from Richmond to meet Susan, who is doing a clinical for a doctorate in physical therapy. Susan's boyfriend Chris Curtin was there as was her friend from high school Andy Lassiter and his girlfriend Weatherly, shown below.

Chris had a birthday June 11 so we all went out to a great seafood restaurant Andy recommended and celebrated. That's were these pictures were taken. We had a great time! Andy lives at Folly Beach where we had spent the day near the pier. Chris has taken up surfing, Susan was two weeks into it, and Anne had her first time on a surf board. Seven foot tides in Charleston so wide beach at low tide and little sand at high tide.
Lodging-wise we stayed in the old town on Meeting Street a block from the market. The three Winston girls did some shopping and then headed back to the beach where Susan got in another hour of surfing ahead of dinner. Anne did a long run and the two of them took cold showers at the pier less than an hour before the picture above was taken.
When Chris went back to Asheville NC, the three Winston girls went out on the town. We took a trolley to check out the historic district and had dinner close to our hotel at a restaurant named after a dog, Poogan's Porch Restaurant. We ate on the second floor balcony, very nice place. We walked around old town before and afterwards and I shot some video.
Oh, the ice cream! We got ice cream cones on the pier and at an ice cream shop close to the market in the historic district.
The weekend was over way too soon but will go down as a favorite. It was our second annual beach weekend. Last year we did the boardwalk at Virginia Beach. We got ice cream there too!
