Last week we were able to travel to Charleston, SC and visit Aaron (my brother) & his family. Madison did great on the drive down which was a blessing. When we arrived, we enjoyed a nice dinner that Shawna made and Christopher (4) gave us a tour of their new house.
Day two, Christopher was very excited to take us to the Charleston Aquarium. His favorite animal is the albino alligator and he talked about him all day. We had lunch at a local seafood restaurant and went out for pizza for dinner.
Day three we went to the neighborhood pool and attempted to help teach Christopher how to swim. He doesn't like to put his face in the water but would practice blowing bubbles and kicking his legs. He and Todd had a great time playing in the pool. In the afternoon we meet Aaron on his base for lunch and then he gave us a tour of his office. We were able to see some of the C-17 planes. That night Todd went out with some old fraternity friends and I stayed with Aaron, Shawna and Christopher.
Day four, Todd, Madison and I explored down town Charleston after attending a reunion lunch for Todd's fraternity. We drove town rainbow row and walked the market. We didn't stay there very long because it was a little hot for Madison. That night Shawna made another great meal and we went out for some ice cream. After the kids went to bed, we were able to play some games. We left the next day and after a long drive, arrived home on Sunday night. We had a wonderful time and appreciate the hospitality of our family! Christopher is Madison's only cousin so it was really special to have them get together.
