Patriot's Point

While in Charleston for the airshow Miranda and I visited Patriot's Point, home to the retired aircraft carrier the USS Yorktown, which is now a floating museum. While we were too late to go aboard for a tour, we were treated to a very picturesque sunset, as well as a flyover by a B-25 which was presumably in town for the airshow. From shore we could see a wide assortment of planes on the deck of the ship including an A-4 Skyhawk, F-4 Phantom, and my personal favorite, an F-14 Tomcat. We plan to come back to Charleston in the future (perhaps the next time they have an airshow) and allot sufficient time to take a tour of the Yorktown, as it looks as though it would be a lot of fun to explore.
In addition to being home to the Yorktown, Patriot's Point also offers a great view of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, which, being nicely illuminated at night, is a sight in and of itself. Be warned, however, that the local salt marsh is home to hoards of biting insects that see photographers pointing cameras at the bridge as a grand buffet.
