Our "walking carriage tour"

Our crashed carriage

Jake at Boone Hall

Jake's 4th grade class took a field trip to Charleston this week. We left bright and early at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning the were at Boone Hall by 10:30. We toured the plantation and had lunch there. Then we went into town for a tour. We were the last passenger aboard our carriage ride and set off. Our horse got spooked a little at a rolling trash can and the driver teased about that. About 5 minutes later he was telling us about filming Army Wives when the horse got spooked again and this time he rared up and bucked and kicked and took off. He turned and crashed into an iron gate of a school and jackknifed. We were terrified he would take off again. We jumped off the carriage and finished our tour on foot. After all the excitement we toured the Provost dungeon where they kept the pirates. Then were ate at Bubba Gumps and after dinner took a ghost walk. At 10 p.m we arrived at our hotel and dozed all night. At 6 a.m on Wednesday we headed to the lobby for breakfast and then to the bus for a tour of Fort Sumter. It was cold and rainy but very interesting to see. We finished our trip at the SC Aquarium then back to the market for souvenirs (yeah, like I had any money left by then). We ate dinner and were finally home by 10 p.m. It was exhausting but I would not have missed the time with Jake for the world.
