Charleston - second half of second day

So here we are back in Charming Charleston on Saturday afternoon.DSCN6333

We took a stroll down Philadelphia Alley,DSCN6353

where I found this tiny man:DSCN6354

After lunch we donned our yoga pants and headed on down to White Point Garden and since we had the pants for it – we did some yoga.

It wasn’t awkward or anything.DSCN6366

And we hadn’t planned for our yoga spot to be right next to where all the walking tours stopped, but it did work out that way. You’ll see them there on the left.DSCN6360

So while we sat around like this:

DSCN6363(I don’t know what this pose is called, something like bound seat of janktification, but you can tell from my face how incredibly comfortable it is.)

And did cool things like this:DSCN6377

Tourists, who were supposed to be learning about the Defenders of Fort Moultrie in front of this monument (see below), were heard making comments like “I want to do some yoga.”DSCN6359

But really, we did make it look pretty cool.

We walked along Murray Blvd.IMG_4678

And up East Battery Street,IMG_4682

And saw the sights.DSCN6390

And there was some dance walking.dance walking

I can’t resist a good fisheye mirror, DSCN6395

Amy can’t resist historical plaques and signs.  DSCN6397And Al and Hannah can’t resist being spectacular. 

IMG_4724And sometimes you’re just so spectacular doing your dance moves that other people can’t resist you. 

The dancing didn’t end there.  Oh, no.  We danced on the pier near waterfront park.pier dance

Here we are looking fantastic in front of the pineapple fountain and some random folks.DSCN6404

And to make up for not being close to the pineapple fountain we just got right in the other fountain there.DSCN6409

And the yoga was just a part of Amy that day, so we had some more yoga … in the fountain, while Al took pictures of her feet in the fountain.DSCN6418

All that coolness and dancing and yoga really requires some dessert.  So we fancied up and took some mirror selfies like a real teenager would, DSCN6421

and shared dessert at High Cotton.  Vanilla bean Crème Brulee, Oatmeal Cream Pie, Chocolate Trio and the Mixed Berry Cobbler. IMG_4762

Almost everything on the dessert menu.IMG_4763  Put it all right in our faces.

We went for another  walk, (how many steps did you get that day, Al?) came home, brushed our teeth like the responsible people that we are, and headed to bed.DSCN6426

Now do you see why I split the day in two?  Whew.

I think that was the day we walked a little over eleven miles. Phew! I tell people how much walking we did, and they are always like, "why? where were you going?" and I try to explain, but... Let's go back!!

ha ha this was clearly not posted by Devin. Look at him, getting himself a little google account and being logged in on my computer and stuff. How cute is that?
