The breezes have returned then and the humidity has dropped off to decent levels. I fully understand what you mean about not having decent parks. Here in Columbia there are numerous parks but I have never found any of them to be well designed. <br /><br />Deron: You would love the Mount Pleasant Waterfront Park. The kid's playground is top of the line and huge. In fact, I have to admit I wish my own kids were small again so I would have an excuse to play on it myself. It's real easy to spend a lot of money quickly in Charleston, nice restaurants and bars, plenty of historical attractions, and of course there are several beaches just minutes away. <br /><br />The other reasons I didn't do much was because by the times I got to the bridge the idea of driving further just didn't sound fun. I'll probably do more around late September or October when most of the tourists have left for the summer.<br /><br />Pixel: I really wished I lived a little closer to that bridge. The incline going up on the Mt. Pleasant side about kicked my butt. It would be a great workout if I could get down there on a regular basis.

I want to go back and do it again sometime - it is, as you said, a great place to organize your thoughts and to decompress. Plus, the bridge just seems like such an elegant work of engineering, almost a piece of art. Enjoyed all your photos! That sailboat going under the bridge looks so tiny and insignificant compared with the size and the grandness of the bridge.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-51029452532011557502016-05-01T12:55:23.969-04:002016-05-01T12:55:23.969-04:00Great pictures!

It does look like a place where you can go and get re-centered on things.Deronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737112016867863064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-89743207051850257962016-05-01T12:54:54.556-04:002016-05-01T12:54:54.556-04:00Those are fantastic pictures!

I've never been out there, but it looks like a great place to go in early October, maybe. <br /><br />There's nothing like that in Houston, but if it were in Houston, I'd say early December. We have a couple weeks when it is under 80. Barely. Fortunately, we don't anything like the park you visited to make us want to go outside.
