Charleston Here We Come!!

We were SO excited to make a quick trip down to Charleston to visit our best friends, the Parkers,  and one of our favorite cities over the weekend! It's been months since we've been to Charleston and over a year since we've seen our buds all at one time so you can imagine the excitement in the car on the way down. : )

And you can't go south without taking a picture of South of the Border. You just can't.

See my little reader back there?! She has just gotten into reading and read through an entire Boxcar Children book on our way there and back. So thankful she has a stomach of steel and no car sickness!



One of our first stops is always to eat at Charleston Crab House and watch the boats as they pass by. The lifting bridge is always a highlight for the kids!

Side note here: Charleston Crab House has ALWAYS been our favorite stop in Charleston to eat. 1. Because of it's scenery on the water and 2. Because of the yummy food. However, this time we were all disappointed. The food was just not great. They stopped serving our favorite she-puppies and coconut shrimp and they started charging just to get plain hushpuppies. Wha??? We also decided that our meals were just mediocre for what we paid for it. If it weren't for the view, that stop would have been a total bust. Anyway...on to the awesome trip! 



Quick trip to Uncle Ross' new office on the Charleston Southern campus. How many kids do you think he can get into his office?!

I just loved the beautiful water they had in the middle of their campus. All the buildings surrounded the water.



Can't tell you how much we enjoyed our friend time. We can totally be ourselves, relax and just enjoy life.  The kids get along great so we get lots of hanging out time which is rare!



Ah!! We also got to go walk around at my favorite spot at the downtown markets. I don't know that I have ever bought anything but I just love the atmosphere SO much!



More pics to come as I get them from Katie! : )
