Back in the Lowcountry

I have been gone from the Lowcountry for so, so long.  I am back for a visit with my family and have had fun revisiting some of my most favorite places.  Please come along with me as I take you on a tour!

My first visit was to Pitt Street Park in Mount Pleasant which is just across the bridge from Charleston.  Pitt Street used to lead to a pontoon bridge that spanned the Intra-coastal Waterway to reach Sullivan's Island.  Today the bridge has been replaced by the Ben Sawyer Bridge and the old bridge area turned into a lovely little park.  I took my grand-dog, Lacey, a yellow lab and set out early in the morning.

As we were leaving I realized that most people who visit Charleston never find their way to the Old Village in Mount Pleasant.  It is so full of charm - I took this picture quickly out the windshield as I headed home.  I hope you enjoyed your visit with me!

I was there five years ago and your can see that posting by clicking HERE.

Pitt Street Bridge

I had never been to the Pitt Street Bridge Park in Mount Pleasant and found a real gem right in my backyard.  I have added a picture of the history plaque at the end here but Pitt Street Bridge used to cross over to Sullivan's Island.  A new bridge has been built and the Pitt Street bridge has crumbled.  What is left has been converted to a small park on the water way.  The views are fantastic and include the Ravenel Bridge that connects Mount Pleasant and Charleston, Fort Sumter, Sullivan's Island and all the glorious marsh that I love so much.

I will add more pictures as the week progresses.
