Charleston

For a vacation as perfect as this one I am going to have to cover it in a few posts so I'll start in Charleston....

We started out exploring the Waterfront Park. They have this great pineapple fountain that the kids can play in. I wasn't aware of this and didn't dress my kids appropriately. I told them they could take their shoes off and wade in the water VERY carefully...
So they did.
Until Julia fell in and was completely soaked and none too pleased about it I might add. She wasn't too excited that I was snapping pictures of her shame either. Her face kills me.
It'll take a lot more than a soaked shirt and skirt to stop this girl. I believe at one point she was actually laying on her belly dragging herself around the fountain. Getting soaked was liberating.
Sweet Audrey remained a little cautious. She is her mother's daughter.
The harbor is absolutely beautiful. We watched porpoise jump and enjoyed the sea breeze, ahhhh heaven.
They have these great swings that Audrey wanted us to swing, "higher! higher!" You should have seen Papa attempt that.
Some more fountain playing. There was no holding her back now.
A little bit more cautious.
We were so happy to have Nana and Papa come with us. So so so happy.
Julia had to sit on the cannons at the Battery Park. Do you notice Julia looks progressively more wet as this post moves along?
A family shot in front of the buildings. If you haven't been to Charleston before you are missing out. The homes downtown are absolutely beautiful. It is so much fun to walk by them and peek into the gardens. We would totally buy one but they were listed well over 3 million. Just a bit out of our price range.
Jody thanks for the adorable visors! They look SO cute on the girls.
