3 Charleston Chicks, and a Guy

We had a blast in Charleston. These are just some candid shots of the fun.

SC Aquarium

After visiting Edisto, we headed to the SC Aquarium. What a beautiful place. It is located right on the water. We enjoyed viewing all of the fish, picking up several sea creatures, and acting goofy at photo ops.

Releasing Edisto

The SC Aquarium has a turtle resue section that they take in turtles found around the area. They nurse them back to health and release them back to their natural environemnt.

While in Charleston, we were lucky to see a rescued sea turtle released back into the ocean. Edisto was found in May near Edisto Beach. He had a crab net wrapped around a back flipper. The Edisto Fire Marshall helped in the rescue efforts. He was one of the six men that lifted Edisto off of the truck and bring him down the beach. Edisto was a little reluctant to go into the water. The director of the Turtle Hospital wet a towel and squeezed it out over his shell. It made him move every time. He eventually made it to the water and went back to where he belongs.

Congratulations, Edisto.
