After viewing the Architecture of Charleston and having a picnic lunch in the White Point Gardens. I moved on to see some art. The Gibbes Museum is a perfectly sized museum with a mix of historic and contemporary art. It is located in the heart of Charlestons Historic District and will only take an hour or two to go through completely. While there be sure to check out the Veiled Lady, a bust by Pietro Rossi, 1882, carved out of marble but with a veil that seems remarkable transparent. Also make sure to see the Iron Man by Mary Whyte, 2000, this watercolor depicts Charlestons most famous blacksmith, Philip Simmons. Other works worth noting were Anna Heyard Taylors Shucking Corn, 1948, a print from the series This Our Land, and the Hog Series CXXII: Pope Innocent X, No. 3, 1995 by Tarleton Blackwell.
Currently they are showing an exhibit of African American Folk Art. I was very impressed by Clementine Hunters work on the African American experience in the south. For more information visit their website, http://www.gibbesmuseum.org/ and you can even take a virtual tour by clicking here.
I finished my trip in Charlestons Waterfront Park. The parks entrance is not far from the Gibbes Museum and welcomes you with a fountain open for kids and adults to play in. You can walk along the pier, which offers yet more amazing views and if youre lucky, a wonderful ocean breeze. The pier has porch swings facing the water that are just divine. If you time the trip right, you can watch the sunset while swinging in this beautiful city! Charleston has much more to offer, but this was one great day that could give you a taste for the city!
For more information on Charleston I recommend, Very Charleston: A Celebration of History, Culture, and Low Country Charm. This book matches the appeal that the city has to offer through its beautiful watercolors and quaint insight. The author, Diana Hollingsworth Gessler offers up everything from the best places to visit, to essentials of porch living. The important to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our minds. Planning and expending our travel budget correctly is a main concern for most families. Lowering expending and prices, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed achievements and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding protecting money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal finances is highly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel costs!.
