This museum had an aircraft carrier and a destroyer.
These ships always amaze me with how big they are. This one carried 3500 people during the war. That is about the size of my home town!!
But my favorite part of Patriots Point was not on either ship; it was the tribute to Vietnam.
It was set up mostly outside, with buildings and equipment like a an actual military camp during the Vietnam War. When I was in college, I took a class on the literature from the Vietnam War and it was fascinating. But even more than that, when I worked at Eyring, I rewrote the documents for the CH-46 simulator and they actually had one of the helicopters!
After we left Patriots Point, we drove across the very beautiful Charleston Bridge.
We got all checked into our hotel, and then we went to the Glass Onion for dinner. We wanted to try some Soul food.
These were truly the best brussel sprouts I have ever eaten! My sweetie couldn't get enough
of his pickled beet salad.
Mountain trout and collard greens. Thanks for the fun adventure, Sweetie!
