We decided to eat lunch at Boulevard Diner in Mount Pleasant. It's a very unassuming building, formerly a Dairy Queen. There is a large hamburger painted on the front. It is very much a cafe. I had an Asian grilled chicken salad (greens, oranges, cucumber, lime based dressing) that was pretty good, although the dressing may have been a bit salty. Steven had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries. I thought the fries were very good.

We decided to tour Fort Moultrie again. The last visit was about 2 years ago. At $3, it's a pretty good bargain. We both think the fort may be a little more interesting than Fort Sumter. There is a 10 minute video that covers the history of the Fort in the visitor's center where the tickets are purchased. There's also a nice observation platform on top of the visitor's center.

Afterward, we decided to stop by the only locally owned coffee shop in Mount Pleasant, Metto Coffee and Tea. I had a green tea smoothie that was pretty good. Steven had an idea Chai tea that he claimed was better than Starbucks.

Tonight, we're debating where to eat supper...will it be Vickeries seafood , Melvins BBQ, Sticky Fingers BBQ, or Zeus Greek.

We didn't make it into downtown Charleston last night to walk through the historic neighborhoods, so we'll probably be headed there after supper tonight.
