Last day in Charleston
As part of our tour “package” here in Charleston, we decided to visit the Magnolia Plantation today.

James Island, SC
So today I learned what to do if Stacy ever becomes despondent or depressed. We arrived here yesterday and today needed to run errands to replenish the pantry. We have been doing so at WalMart ever since we left December 15 because we have not seen an Aldi store. So she sees that there is
