the Charleston, South Carolina Vacation Photos.

August 2025. The McGee Fish and Toddler Bonnie last summer hurrah big vacation trip. We went to Charleston, South Carolina. I was invited to an old college European traveling friend's 2nd wedding in Charleston. Also I've personally always wanted to visit Charleston South Carolina.

Things I learned about Charleston, South Carolina:

Charleston South Carolina is one of the USA's old cities, at least as old as the year 1670
The Main old Historic town is highly walkable and simple to navigate.
The neighborhood "South of Broad" has ample beautiful rich residential mansions.
The Vibe of the town is....think...New Orleans and West Village NYC but cleaner streets
The Fashion of the Residents and Tourists is Preppy Chic
The citizenry is attractive and cordial, would be ideal for a single person's lifestyle or perhaps an empty nester.
The Food is delicious. Shrimp and Grits is yummy!
The town can get expensive with food, coffee, restaurants, cafes, city taxes on each bill, etc.
We took a History Lesson Guided Tour via a Horse Carriage
Yes the Slave Trade History is prominent and still displayed. It's the truth.
The summer weather is not so much Hot as it is humid, sweaty and sticky
There are 2 excellent Atlantic Coast sandy Beaches within 20 minutes Drive. 1. Folly Beach 2. Isle of Palms

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...

Bonnie Fish McGee's Spooky 1st Birthday Party! Oct. 19th, 2024. Good times.

I got up early and went = ESPN's Live College Football Gameday Show @ University of Texas - Austin Fall 2024

I awoke circa 5:30 am this past Saturday, took a shower, grabbed a quick bite to eat and coffee@ QT; then rode my moped down to the University of Texas, South Lawn or "6-pack" area to view the LIVE ESPN taping and broadcast show, COLLEGE GAMEDAY. When I arrived on campus at 6 am it was still dark and there were plenty of fans already there. The actual LIVE College Gameday Show started at 8 am Central Time. We as fans are simply backdrop visuals and noise for the show. There were tons of fans signs, almost too many to even read. All of the On-Air TV Talent was friendly and excellent! Desmond Howard, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee, Kirk Herbstreet, and Nick Saban. Pat McAfee is the "get the home crowd revved up" talent, which is needed for the live show. Overall it was quite entertaining and free to attend. It'll get your Saturday juiced up. https://promo.espn.com/collegegameday/
