Folly Beach, SC: Fort Sumter

On Monday we drove to downtown Charleston, to the Visitor's Center.

They have a parking garage where you can pay one price (ours was $6, but I think the most is $8 or $10 for all day) and then ride the Trolley around town for FREEEEEEEE! (You can also purchase different tours of the area at the Visitor's Center and they have people to take you around on walking or a bus tour.)

We already knew where we were going, so we waited for the Trolley to take us over to the Liberty Square area where we took the ferry boat to Fort Sumter.
In addition to the Fort ruins, there was a nice museum with a lot of history, photos, and artifacts.

After taking the ferry back to Liberty Square, we walked back to the Visitor's Center (no real reason, just because we could).

 There was alot of other things that we didn't do while in the area, like the SC Aquarium or the Charleston Museum or visiting the Market. I think we are about at the point where if you've seen one aquarium, you're not missing much at the other ones (except the Ripley's aquarium in Gatlinburg, I reccommend it. And maybe the one in Atlanta, which I haven't been to yet.) We also saw alot of museums included in the sites we did visit, so another one just seemed redundant.
