Places to Go (Vacation) - Charleston Etc.

More photos and memories from our spring break 2014 (does anyone else still giggle a little when saying "spring break" in memory of those horrid MTV "live" broadcasts involving jello shots and Club MTV? Actually as a teenager I dreamed of going to one, so I'm not sure where my 38-year-old smugness comes from. If you're feeling nostalgic click here for the (relatively) good and here for the awful).

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."

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.
