A Walk in Downtown Charleston

by John Wilson

 

I read somewhere this morning that people that spend more time outside tend to weigh less than their couch potato compadres. Beyond the obvious additional exercise required to actually go outside, the article cited the additional heat, body image reminders of being around people and not being inundated with food ads on television. For me, I eat when I’m bored, so anytime I get a chance to get outside, it has to be good.

 

After cutting the grass, Parker, his mother and I went for a walk in downtown Charleston, SC. You can see the whole set here, and take a look at my favorite shots below:

 

We started our exercise by going to the Ice Cream Shoppe in Mount Pleasant, SC.

Parker was real upset when he found out he was too young for ice cream.

After getting lunch, we drove across the bridge and found a swing in Waterfront Park.

We saw a pirate ship…

and the guy in the swing in front of us lost his shoe.

and these ladies were having a great time in the fountain.

I’m not sure if we lost any weight today, but we had a good time hanging out with Parker.

    That picture is funny. He really looks mad. I don’t really think he had anything to be mad about, but that is one heck of a stare down.
