Charleston, SC Vacation ~ Day 1

Last August one of Benjamin's friends, Robby Scholes, offered his parents second home in Charleston, SC for us to go enjoy a vacation. I did not realize just how much I was going to enjoy Charleston! We were more than thrilled when he told us that it was open this weekend for us to go again. We loaded up Friday afternoon and hit the road for a 4 1/2 hour trip to Charleston.

It didn't take us long to to decide to head to our favorite restaurant on Saturday to enjoy our favorite meal of 'She Crab Soup'! Since coming here in the fall we could not wait to get back here and eat it again. Actually we went twice while we were there. : )


They have a wonderful outdoor eating area that over looks the waterway. It's also right next to a large bridge that Emma Claire likes to watch open up as the big boats come by.


This, my friends, is coconut shrimp that is to die for! Get in my belly!! So, so good.


Like Benjamin, when Emma Claire gets excited about something she talks and asks questions NON-STOP. We quickly had to start having talk breaks before we all lost our minds. When Benjamin asked Emma Claire to keep her finger over her mouth, we turned to look at Camp and he held his finger up but it kept ending up somewhere else. ; 0 


One thing we really like about Charleston is that we can do lots of fun things and not spend a lot of money. That's always a good thing, huh!?! After we ate a late lunch we headed over downtown to walk around the market and shops.  This is one of my most favorite things to do! It is such a beautiful and relaxing place.




















After we walked through the markets we came to Emma Claire's most favorite place to play.... the water fountain! Just look at the look of pure joy and excitement on her face!







This is definitely a highlight of the trip for her!

Another place we like to go downtown is Kilwin's Handmade Chocolates & Ice Cream! We can't go downtown without stopping by for a treat. Do you think Emma Claire liked hers?




My little man was so good on our trip! He was so patient and enjoyed riding around in his stroller watching for the horse and buggy carriages. I was so proud of him!


Mommy & Daddy needed some quiet time again! Camp can't quite figure out where his fingers are suppose to go...


 Day 1 in Charleston = Success!

We had such a wonderful day as a family. There were lots of laughs, smiles, & love. I love this family of mine!
