Charleston Yesterday, Snow Flurries Today

Yesterday was a nice day so we toured historic Charleston, SC. We toured Fort Moultrie where we found the grave of Seminole Indian leader Osceola. We checked out the lighthouse on Sullivan's Island. We also visited Fort Sumter, the Charles Pinckney National Historic site, the aircraft carrier USS York, and the open market in downtown Charleston. Mom and Dad said they think Charleston is a cross between New Orleans and Key West. The old mansions and homes in historic Charleston are magnificent.

Today we will be staying in as we are now having snow flurries.

South Carolina, Winter Wonderland???

Good morning from the winter wonderland of South Carolina where it was 18 degrees when we got up this morning. This is the coldest morning we have ever spent in our RV. Fortunately for Mom and Dad it is warm inside. Can you believe this, last summer it was 127 degrees in Bullhead City, AZ where I cooked an egg on the sidewalk and now it is 18 degrees and I am walking on ice. Since I am a chihuahua, you would think I would like hot weather but I really enjoy this cold weather more. I get real frisky when it is cold. Of course Mom and Dad don't like the cold. Hopefully next week it will warm up so we can go exploring.

First Move Of 2009

Today was moving day for us. This is our first move of 2009. After three wonderful weeks in Fair Play, SC, we are now at Santee, SC on the shores of Lake Marion. While the weather in Fair Play was cold and wet, we had a great time seeing family and friends. The Santee area is new for us so we have a lot of exploring to do. We are really looking forward to spending time sightseeing in the Charleston area as we have never been there. I'm sure Mom and Dad will be looking for famous gravesites and historic spots in Charleston. I hope everyone is having a good 2009 so far. Stay tuned and I will keep you updated on our activities.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year's Eve. We stayed home and were in bed by 11:00PM. We figured 2009 would be here when we woke up, and it was. We are really enjoying the holidays in South Carolina with our family and my canine buddies. Its amazing how fast the holidays come and go. We have done some sightseeing while we are here. One day we visited three Revolutionary War Battlefields, Cowpens, Kings Mountain and Ninety-Six. Mom and Dad were surprised there were so many Revolutionary Battles in South Carolina. Most people only hear about the battles up North, like Valley Forge and Lexington. Yesterday Mom and Dad took me to the vet for all my annual shots and tests. That was not a lot of fun, but at least I am healthy.

Take care and have a happy and prosperous New Year..............

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Mom, Dad and I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. We hope you have a joyous holiday. Today we arrived in South Carolina and will be spending Christmas and New Years with David & Trevor and their family and friends. If everyone of you has been as good as me this year then Santa won't be putting any coal into any of your stockings.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Play Day With Emma & David

Today Mom and Dad took me to Martinez, Ga, near Augusta, to see cousin Heather and her children Emma and David. Emma and David gave me a Christmas bag with 5 new toys. What a wonderful surprise! We didn't get to see Ken as he was out of town attending his grandmother's funeral. We went to lunch and then played in the leaves in their backyard. What fun!!!! I had a great day but was so tired I slept all the way back to Greensboro.

Sightseeing In Georgia

Boy have we been busy sightseeing in Georgia. Our first excursion was to Eatonton, the hometown of Joel Chandler, who wrote the famous Uncle Remus stories about Brer Rabbit. We went to the Uncle Remus cabin and, as you can see, I got my picture taken with a statue of Brer Rabbit. In the background you can see Uncle Remus' cabin. We have toured around Eatonton, Greensboro and Madison viewing the history and seeing some beautiful antebellum homes along Georgia's Antebellum Trail. Greensboro is a town that has been burned down twice, once by Indians and then by General Sherman on his march through Georgia. Madison is the only town Sherman did not burn down on his march to the sea. A friend lived in Madison so Sherman spared it.

We spent today in Atlanta where we visited Stone Mountain, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park and the Martin Luther King Jr National Historic site. As Mom and Dad always do, they took a picture of the graves of MLK and his wife to go in their Historic Grave album.

Sunday we are going to Augusta so I get to play with Emma and David. Later friends.........
