Charleston For The Day

On Tammie's last day we drove down to Charleston to explore. My sweet mom kept the kids and TJ had the day off and the weather was PERFECT! I have to thank Stacey for the wonderful advice of where to eat and what to do...

First we ate at Jestine's which was wonderful! Jestine's has been featured on The Food Network and Southern Living and lots of other places I'm sure and I now know why... Crazy good fried okra!

Then we walked around looking for a carriage ride touring company. We found one and had a little time to kill before the tour so we went down Market Street. I will say the carriage ride tour was THE BEST! We learned so much about the history of Charleston.

After walking around more and exploring King Street I remembered my brother and Leigh were in town for business and it turned out they were just a block away. They came and met us and sat with us while we had dinner. It was great to see them! After dinner we headed home...

I love living so close to Charleston... it is such a beautiful city, rich in history, and just 2 hours away.

Very unique flower...

Early evening we took a wine break in honor of the Charleston Golden Retriever Rescue! They were having a fundraiser and Tammie treated us to a very good class of wine and a nice break from all of the walking. They get their wine from Napa too which was fun...

Honey anyone?

Goodnight and goodbye Charleston... until next time...

Golf...

Another post in my effort to catch up on the blog... At the beginning of April we took the kids to play golf. The kids love going to eat at Pine Lakes after church every now and then but they really have been wanting to play golf. Mom was visiting friends in Texas and dad treated us to dinner and a little golf. We went late so we didn't distract anyone else. Telling my children they must be quiet is an open invitation for them to YELL!

It was NOT a quiet golf game but they had lots of fun! They loved riding in the cart too and we plan on playing more this summer now that they are both old enough to last 9 holes. Oh, and the putting green was the BIG HIT!

Soccer- Maybe Not For Now :)

Read this...

This is really how Anderson wanted to spend his time on the soccer field...

Or wrapped around daddy's leg...

But every now and then he would actually play... Haha... I know, he's only 3 and

I think he will enjoy it one day but maybe soccer is not for him right now :)

We will continue to play in the back yard...

At least I got some cute pictures, right!?

Spring Break Continued...

Most mornings I got to sleep in... which means that I woke up to this face wanting his breakfast opened...

We got to spend some time after Miss Tammie from California came into town at her fun resort pool and lazy river! Karoline LOVES the pool and Anderson did too as he re-warmed up to the idea :)

Easter Sunday we enjoyed the afternoon at the beach... it was perfect!

We got to DOUBLE skype with Sarah, Jared, Ella, Lainey

AND PopPop... it was so fun! I love technology!

We went to see the Myrtle Beach Pelicans play and the kids loved it... especially Anderson! I think Baseball might end up being his thing... My two men sported their Cleveland Indian hats!

A trip from Tammie is not complete without a putt-putt game!

We were all enjoying ourselves, including my mom, until the bombs started going off...

Ears covers... Karoline was extra sensitive to the bombs and didn't take her hand off her ears!

This was Anderson's first time I think and he LOVED it!

Mom took Tammie and me to a place she and dad love in Murrells Inlet. It was YUMMY!

I honestly loved the 'no schedule' break and it makes me really look forward to summer...
