My Favorite Place To Be Where I Live

Hi Guys!! Whew! It has been a while huh? What has it been? Better than 2 years?? Man, long time to be away! Anyways, I am back now and will try to stick around a bit more so everyone can stay better informed on how awesome life can be for me! Since my last post quite a few things have changed but I will save those for another post, be prepared to catch up! This post, yea this one right here, is going to be about My favorite place to go in South Carolina, yea, the place I love to go the most. That place for me would have to be Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston has so much history hidden beneath it and so many things to do that it is impossible to do it all before something new comes up. It is the heart of where the Civil War Started that changed America, Where flooding and earthquakes have crippled people over the years, yet, they still strive on and make the best out of everything, they use their trials and tribulations to enlighten everyone else into the history of the city. Some of the historical points of interest that I enjoy the most in Charleston would be the tour of Fort Sumter, The ghost tours through the streets of historical downtown, Touring The Yorktown, and visiting the old State building with the dungeons beneath them. Now, if you are going to Charleston for a bit of relaxing and do not want to stuff your brain with historical sites then there are some things to do in that aspect also. I enjoy the fishing off of Folly Beach Pier, there are always friendly people there that are willing to help you out if you are more inexperienced, The beach at The Isle of Palms is beautiful and very relaxing, and there are shops in the Tanger Outlets that you can go shopping at and find great discounts on name brands items! (Who doesn't love that! =D) With all of that being said, I am sure that the people in Charleston take it for granted just like those of us who live in Columbia so the same. The State House in the heart of Columbia also has many Historical sites around it from Cannons used in the Civil War, to Spots marked on the walls where the cannon balls actually hit, then there is the River Walk where you can see the bridges that were burned down to keep the armies from invading, to the one that was constructed by the armies so they could cross anyway. I see those things daily so it is more standardized to me and I am sure that others that come may find that part of Columbia amazing and that is exactly how I feel about Charleston. Doesn't hurt also that from time to time the company I work for sends me to Charleston to "live" there during the week while I work from time to time. But, it never gets old to me, I love it there and enjoys my time near the coast.   

Wow, that was a bit of rambling in that post, but, who would have expected anything different? After all, I am RANDOM Rabon!! Hope you all enjoyed reading about my favorite place in South Carolina to go to and I look forward to keeping my updates consistent now! Enjoy the remainder of your weekend folks and have a great day!!
