To DC and Back

Here are some photos to better explain last weekend's adventurous trip to the Nation's Capital.

The Washington Monument

Martin Luther King, JR, Myself and some Eastern European lady who refused to move

Me kicking down signs in blind frustration, as you do

Sean decided to go for a stroll by himself, chasing seagulls

Gotta make sure the hat is on properly

Roadside Nuttys

Every day after work myself and the spouse drive to Hanahan to pick up the son at the daycare. It is a pretty dreary drive, especially since the weather have been proper rubbish lately. One thing that always makes it more fun, though, is spotting oddities along the road. It can be weirdos walking along the road, me trying to read the signs of the Mexican businesses with a formidable accent, or waving to people dressed up as stuff, trying to promote their stores. The Serta sheep is my favourite.

The second day out of town we kept up the hiking:

Back From the Edge

The Family spent last weekend in Morganton, North Carolina. We did so to visit the Wife's dad and get away from the Charleston humidity that slowly but surely will drive you mad.

This is our story in pictures:

Off to admire the scenery

Making it Big

Charleston has been named as one of the top ten cities to visit 2010 by Lonely Planet.

Take that, everybody else!

Baltimore Bombers

So the mother in law and myself are planning a road trip to Maryland this Saturday. There we are supposed to have a Rendez-Vouz with some friends from New York, give them one of Ma's dogs and then head back to old Chuck town. I have ridiculously high hopes of seeing some fall-coloured leaves along the way and look forward to making some Clark Griswald-esque memories.
