Niagara Falls
Kelly and I was able to visit Niagara Falls this summer while Hay-Hay was on her mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Both Kelly and I (as well as Hay-Hay) had a great trip.

St. Michael’s Church
St. Michael’s Church This church was completed in 1761 and is the oldest church in the city of Charleston. George Washington attended services at the church when he visited Charleston in 1791. The church has a clock and ringing bells that date back to Colonial times. The clock tower is the oldest tower clock in North America. My first graders study George Washington and this would be an interesting fact to share with them about his visit to one of Charleston’s oldest churches.
Biggin Church
Biggin Church The Biggin Church Ruins are the ruins of a church in Berkeley County. The church has been burned 3 times since it was first constructed in 1711. It was the church of the parish of St. John’s Berkeley. The parishes served religious and civil functions in the colony. The first fire was a forest fire. Henry Laurens and William Moultrie worshiped in the new building. The church was used in the Revolutionary War as a depot. The church was burned as the troops retreated. The church was rebuilt again. During the Civil War, furniture was removed and the building was damaged. The building was once again burned in a forest fire. Two walls remain of the church.
