Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum

New postby lanslide » Sun Jun 20, 2010 2:24 pm

We went to Charleston, South Carolina last week for our vacation camping trip to James Island County Park. My wife and two sons had a great time even though it was 97 degrees during most days. It did cool down to about 80 degrees at night though. We had a fan in our tent. Here are some photos I took of the museum on the U.S.S. Yorktown:
