| Sully conquers the bridge! The newly-opened New Cooper River Bridge in Charleston, SC, has a span of 1,546 feet (464 meters) and a rise of 186 feet (56 meters) above the water. It currently holds the record for being the longest cable-stayed span in North America! (Here's an arial view of the bridge.) Yesterday (January 21, 2006) we had 75° weather....so we figured it was a great day to walk across the bridge! It has a really neat walking/biking lane and it's a popular way for Charlestonians (and visitors) to exercise! Anyway, here are a few photos I took while walking the bridge yesterday! This 4th one is my FAVORITE! (Scroll down for more!)

| The wind was blowing and Sully loved sniffing all the smells of the salty air! BUT.....he didn't like going to the edge! LOL, not at all! If we even walked NEAR the edge he put on the brakes! The 3rd pic is a view of the Mt. Pleasant side of town (where we live) from the top/middle of the bridge.

| Those are really great photos, and Sully looks gorgeous as always. I'm pretty jealous of that 75 degree weather...

The state gives safety ratings from 1-100 to each bridge...and the old Cooper River Bridges received a safety rating of 4!!!!!!!! New bridge projection (once the old ones are torn down) http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/images/lrfd28.jpg Another pic of the old vs. the new together: http://oldcooperriverbridge.org/larg...rman_grace.jpg This new bridge is 8 traffic lanes wide, not to mention the walking/biking lanes so it barely even feels like a bridge at all.

OH! And I forgot to mention that Sully wore his Superman shirt (Super Sully, as I call it) and I wore a Superman shirt too (got it from Lands End). People commented on how brave little Sully was and I pointed to my shirt and said I was just a proud Mom! LOL. Yeah, we matched. How pathetic is that. Obsessed? No, not me!

The TV News channel would have specials "just in case" your car was ever submerged in water, what do you do? POGO! Pop your seatbelt, Open the window and Get Out! (You can't open the door at underwater pressures, so that's why it's better to have manual windows you can roll down and escape in times of danger!!) Haha, crazy I know that stuff right?

I haven't been over the new bridge yet, but I had my one and only almost panic attack while driving across the old Cooper River Bridge! I'm GLAD that it is gone and I never have to drive over it again!! Sully was very brave walking across the new bridge! | |

| Looks like you guys had a fun day. Those are awesome pics. You are a great carmera bug. I am still jealous, I'm not near water and love it.
