Patriot's Point

Mom, Dad and I decided to check out Patriot's Point on my visit. We got to tour an Air Craft carrier that had been turned into a museum, a submarine, and a destroyer. It was amazing to see how 3,500 naval officers and marines lived and operated on the Aircraft carrier, not to mention the massive amounts of ingredients needed to make enough chocolate chip cookies for all of them. Sadly Mom refused to use their recipe to make me thousands of cookies while I was there :(

Riverfront Park

One of the usual stops when visiting my parents is the Riverfront Park to check out the newest sculpture installations.

Riverbanks Botanical Gardens

Attached to the Zoo by a bridge on the opposite side of the river was the Riverbanks Botanical Gardens.

Riverbanks Zoo

I recently visited my parents in South Carolina for a week. Here's a glimpse of our first full day. We started out at the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC.
