Vacation Recap: Part 1

So I know you've all been dying to know how our vacation went (okay...probably not but read on anyway). We left on Sunday the 8th and drove to Charleston. It was a good trip....minus the migraine I got and the car sickness Anastasia experienced. We played the license plate game along the way and even saw a Hawaii! (Note to self: do not shout HAWAII! while your husband is driving down the interstate.) We stayed in Mt. Pleasant the first night and everyone was SUPER glad to be out of the car. We ate at a yummy seafood joint on the water and then hit the hotel pool for some swimming time.

On Monday we headed over to Patriot's Point to catch a boat to Fort. Sumter.

The boat ride was great and we even saw dolphins! Our trip to the fort was hot and mosquito-ridden, but we still had a great time exploring the fort. The girls even earned their Jr. Ranger badges!

After lunch on the water (where we saw even more dolphins!) we drove over to Isle of Palms to check into our hotel for the week. What a view we had!

We opted for sandwiches on the picnic tables at the hotel so we could spend more time enjoying the beach.

And enjoy it we did!

We bought the girls boogie boards so they could ride the waves. It was such a great purchase and they really used them all week!

That concludes the first update....more to come....
