Hilton Head and Charleston (2.4-2.10.22)

We finally got to Hilton Head on a foggy, rainy day. Nickel didn’t care because the beach is dog friendly and off-leash. We took a very long bike ride in circles looking for the wrong lighthouse (I was incorrectly trying to get to one on a private golf course) and we went to the most disappointing fort ever (a 6 foot dirt wall with weeds and trees growing out of it), then rain and a pig in a truck on the way home. Not to be deterred, we headed to Charleston on a chilly, beautiful cloudless day. We walked along the river, got to see the Circular Congressional Church which was built in1681. A couple more rain days later, upon the advice of Dalton, we went to Jekyll Island and saw the Turtle Rehab, the ruins of a home built in 1936, and driftwood beach. We had a really good lunch at a very questionable food truck. Then we stopped at Old Fort King George on the way back – it’s completely rebuilt based on historical records and is a recreation of the fort and town from 1721 (Nickel was put in the stocks).
