We spent some sunny days at the beach.
Grandma read books on the couch (LOTS of books).
The rental house came with a boat, allowing T to spend HOURS practicing his captain skills (luckily, Grandma T endured "sailing" with him because the rest of us bored quickly).
When the rain came (in droves), Grandma brought out Scrabble Slam
, which the girls found addictive (seriously, best game ever for 1st and 2nd graders). 
While the girls gamed, T became a ghost. A friendly ghost. Well, sort of.
Once the rain stopped we strawberry picked. And picked. And picked. Until I said, "enough everyone, this is WAY more than we can eat before vacation ends."
We spent some cold days at the beach.
The girls bought sister/best friend necklaces as souvenirs. (P had never shopped at a Claire's before and I'm pretty sure that was her favorite part of the vacation).
We spent a whole day exploring all the wonders of Charles Towne Landing - a zoo, a boat, an old settlement house, canyons, gardens, spanish moss, etc.
My kids attacked each other, ON CAMERA.
And discovered hidden treasures.
And made the world into a jungle gym.
And walked the dogs.
Butterflies were found.
And, finally, TV was watched (after all, we were on vacation).

Now for the iphone highlights:
* Dinner with friends at the Obstinate Daughter (so so good).
* Boone Hall Plantation's Gullah Culture presentation (though the rest of the plantation was sort of blah).
* Date night at Husk (I could have drank the punch all night long). (I have not quite mastered the selfie).
