The last couple of days have been special. My 1st trip was going to the Gibbes Art Museum. I saw paintings and art sculptures. I even saw a sculpture of George Washington, and it was sculptured by Guiseppe Cercchi. 
I saw paintings of General Moultie by Rembrandt Peale, Gen Francis Merion by John Sartain, Mrs. Robert Gilmore, sculptured by Hortio Greenough, "View of Segovia" Hillside by Ernert Lawson Impressionist, several Paintings on exhibit by Robert Henri 1865 to 1925. One was called" Adobi Houses" 1917. "Veiled Lady" 1882 by Pietro Rossi "The Potter"- By Dave Drake, 1800, most famous slave potter, John C. Calhoun, 1838, by Rembrandt Peale again, and last," George Washington" 1792, sculptured by 
Giuseppe Ceracci, executed for opposing Napoleon. After we got out of the museum, we went to the oldest public building in SC. It was built in 1713. I got a Powder Magizine patch. I took lots of pictures, cool ones..
My 2nd trip was to Fort Sumter and Yorktown. My grandmother, my cousin, and my dad, and I went. I took 53 pictures of Fort Sumter and Yorktown. We took our 1st boatride to Fort Sumter. I took a couple of 
pictures of the flag, one of them was pink. One of the flags was from 1861. I got myself a Fort Sumter patch and it was only $6.95. After that, we got out and took the boatride back. A little later that day, we went to Yorktown. I got myself a Yorktown patch. Then, we went to the Yorktown, #10 Ship and saw a submarine. 
In the giant big ship, I saw a sign that said snack bar, but we had pizza for lunch. We toured around for a little bit. I took a lot of pictures. After that, we went to take them back, then we went back home.
