Fort Sumter, Where the American Civil War Began

Decades of growing strife between North and South erupted in civil war on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery opened fire on this Federal fort in Charleston Harbor. Fort Sumter surrendered 34 hours later. Union forces would try for nearly four years to take it back.

Jestine's Kitchen

My tour guides K,T,P,R&R took me to Jestine's Kitchen in Charleston for some Good ole southern hospitality and even better southern cooking. To start the Pickles (cucumber salad) that they bring to each table are awesome!!! So Awesome that we all bought a jar to bring home.

I had some Fried Green Tomato's for the first time and they were so good. The fried chicken…Yum!!! If you are ever in Charleston you should go there. Great food, great service, and great time with family.
