Austin to Boston: Charleston SC + Myrtle Beach SC

Charleston, South Carolina
2443 miles
90° F
Gas: $2.42

Here we just walked around and admired the historic homes. Charleston is noteworthy in historic preservation because in 1931 the Charleston Historic Society designated a this large area of homes to be protected. They have a revolving fund for their preservation efforts, by purchasing one home, restoring the façade, and selling it at a profit. Then they have money for the next house. The homeowner can do whatever they want with the interior, but not alter the façade. 
Many belonged to merchants who got their wealth from the seaport. 


(we think this looks like a Mario canon)


Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

 2547 miles
73° F

I only have two things to say about Myrtle Beach.
1. Myrtle Beach is not always sunny.
2. Our tent leaks.
