Christmas in Charleston

My parents drove down to spend Christmas with us in Charleston, SC.  We docked Passport at the city marina and rented an airbnb house for the week.  The house was fabulous, a beautifully renovated duplex downtown in the historic district. With two master bedrooms, a lovely living room and large kitchen, we barely needed to leave the house.  Lyra particuarlly loved the spacious house that did not rock or move! She had a fabulous time exploring everywhere in the home with room to run and play. My Dad brought her new cat beds and she took turns sleeping in every one of them. She did have a chance to get out and explore the city on a horse and buggy ride, walk in the park and even went out to dinner one evening.

The day after Christmas, the weather turned favorable to head back out to sea for another run south. We packed up, reluctantly left the beautiful home (Lyra was the most upset by this), said our good-byes, cast off the docklines.  Hoping to make it to somewhere in Florida, depending on how long the weather allowed,  we headed to sea and turned south.

It seems that Lyra can even get away with being on counters while we are on vacation, and this counter is HUGE.

Even Lyra needed to sample the wonderful cuisine available in Charleston.
