Charleston and Northwards

We continue to head north, stopping at some of our favourite places on the way.
Beautiful Charleston has such attractive houses and gardens and even the smaller lanes and alleys are attractive.  The boys looked around the galleries and I did a little retail therapy after a coffee.  How civilized!
When the wind was right, Jay headed to the beach to kite board.                                                                                         
Celebrating the 4th July with friends at the beach and watching the sunset with a glass in hand, perfect!                  
Baltimore Aquarium had a great selection of sea life, all displayed in a multi-level building that was fabulous to walk through.  (I love one way museums, you don't miss anything and don't get too many people jams either)
Passing though the C and D canal, which joins the Chesapeake Bay to the Delaware River, you need to watch out for the huge tankers.
Jay invited some of his Kiwi friends to join us on the boat for the day.  We gave them a sail up the Hudson River in New York, passing all the sites on the way.  A great  way to see them without queuing for hours!
