April 21 -26, 2012 . . . Hilton Head, Beaufort and Charleston, South Carolina


Arrival at Hilton Head Harbor.





SONATA in Hilton Head Harbor.



Ted and Charlie rest while Judy and Bonnie complete some shopping.



Barbara and Bill joined us aboard SONATA . . . to pick up Ted and Judy and give them a ride back to New Smyrna Beach.


John and his wife Susan met us upon our arrival.



The stop in Hilton Head was primarily so that Charlie could meet with his dearest high school friend, John.



John and Susan took us on a biking tour of Hilton Head followed with lunch at their nearby condo.






While biking we came upon some of Bonnie's animal friends, one crossing the road was trying to wave at her.



End of the visit, SONATA was ready to depart.







In Beaufort we took the carriage ride through town and viewed the old homes; what a terrific spot . . . many movies made here that we have enjoyed.






Charleston. We arrived at the City Dock and shortly thereafter we were on the bikes and off to the City Market.




Our lunch was first, Shrimp and Grits at Hymans Half Shell; second day we had lunch at SNOBS. So many good places to eat . . . so little time.




We contacted Jerry and Jenny Reves, SWEETGRASS, and they invited us to their home.

The next day Jerry became our personal tour guide to see Charleston:





















Jerry and Jenny's first Charleston home.

Jerry's father was a math instructor at the Citidel, Jerry grew up on the site:
