Today there were lots of police K9 pups training at the visitor center. This fur baby is trained to look for large amounts of money. I love that every day can bring something different in the city. Come enjoy with me!

At quick glance this just looks like junk..... but really there is history in this photo. These are old tanks next to Mr Philip Simmons iron workshop. They were used for welding the pieces together. He trained family members to carry on his legacy of incredible wrought iron work. Oh, if these tanks could talk!

A wonderful flag display at First Baptist Church. There's always something new to see when you go beyond the main city attractions!

Absolutely one of my favorite patriots came by the visitor center today. Tony Youmans from The Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon came by , and was great with the kids, and us kids at heart! No trip to Charleston is complete without a visit to the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon. It is one of 3 of the most historically important buildings in America! The staff are great, and you can just feel the history in the air. Come see Charleston with me, then travel back to the 1700s at the Exchange!
