Day 1 (Friday, June 25th) Leaving Home, MD

Drive to Charleston, SC was uneventful. We stayed up too late Thursday night so we decided to leave at 5am instead of 4am. We ran into a couple of back-ups, but nothing too major. We got into our campground about 3:45pm. We swam in their pool for a while. The water was too hot to be refreshing, but is was relaxing. We've been looking forward to getting shrimp in New Orleans, but figured the oil spill made that unlikely, so we went out for dinner at a little dive that had been recommended by the campground. The food was incredible!
